Radio in RL died ....?

[Hrant]

The radio in my 96 RL died. Both the inetrior (inside car) and exterior (inside engine back up) radio fuses seem ok, I even tried new ones; no luck. The interior fuses also supports ACC (is this the AC?)

The lights don't come on when you push the knob to engage the radio. It's dead. The inside dimmer lights are dead also (both on the door and the manual switches/push bottons near the sun roof; but the sun roof works!

Any ideas? I have the premium package.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reference.

Bruce Pettitt from Pettitt's Automotive helped me out before I started spending hours ......... It turned out that the Interior fuse in the engine compartment fuse box was the culprit; both radio fuses were ok though!

And as a heads up to all, make sure you store your radio code someplace as you will need it once the fuse goes out or you need to change your battery. Back to regular programming ........
