Expert: - 8/12/2007


Question
I have a 1996 Nissan Altima GLE that has the factory CD/Cassette/Radio installed with the factory speakers. The other day the radio just stopped working. No power, no lights nothing. And a CD and cassette are still in the unit. I checked the audio fuse under the driver's side dashboard and it was fine but I replaced it anyway. Still no juice. Can you tell me how to tell if the unit is actually getting power or is there a replaceable fuse in the actually unit that can be replaced before I spend money on a new radio. The factory radio is a Clarion, model PN-2089I. Thanks for your help.

Answer
hi there is 2 fuses for the radio one on each fuse box some nissans have 2 fuses boxes
if they are ok  there is a problem on the power supply of your radio this happens on the bose system often
if that is the case radio needs to be repair sorry i can not help you more
