Radio Doesn't Work....
I'm not sure if its the radio itself(stock) or some kind of fuse that I can't find..
I bought the car and it worked on the way home and hasn't since(turned it off when I got home and hasn't came back on)
Now, this is the deal, I wanted to make sure that it is the radio before I go out and spend the money buying a new one.
So what it does is when I push the on button there is a clicking noise that sounds like it is coming from behind the radio. Looked for fuses(and the main fuse box) that might be blown but they all look good.
Is there a hidden fuse somewhere that Im not finding????
Thanks

Um the clicking noise is probably the relay for the power antena (which may or may not still be installed or working)
I had this happen once. I took a working stock sterio (Tuner, Tape Deck, and Equializer) out of my '85 GSL and when I went to put it back in it would no longer work.
I figured out that there is a common power feed that goes between the tape deck and the tuner that seemed to have gone bad in the tape deck, so I just jumpered power from the main switched feed to the sterio on to this terminal and the radio and equializer worked again, but not the tape deck it was NFG after that.
Hope that helps,
