I have an 03 OBW and my radio just stopped working. While away the car sat for a week in a garage, I started it and the radio was fine - drove a few miles - turned the radio off then later tried to turn it back on and it was dead. I checked many fuses (Not all) related to and including stuff like the radio, clock (When I pulled the clock fuse the clock was still on - weird), power locks, seats, lighter etc. All were fine. Even switched some around in case I couldn't see the break. I tried my best to reach behind to radio to see if anything was loose (I don't know how to pull it out from the front to check). Would anyone have any simple or easy ideas or suggestions to try before I take it back in to the dealer? I searched the group for old posts and came up empty. I know it's under warranty but it's not easy to lose my car for a day while they look at it. Then possibly a 2nd day as when I called the dealer they said they farm out radio problems. Thanks in advance, Jim / NJ PS- Just to check - I attempted to insert a CD and it won't do that either so no power is getting to it at all. I let the car sit a day and tried again too in case there was a breaker or anything causing the problem.
