No Power To Stereo

[catesauc]

After my 2002 Boxster 2.7l engine was diagnosed as blown at only 46k miles, I had a used 2001 2.7l motor installed. Since the install, the stereo won't even turn on. The mechanic tells me power is good to the stereo. The stereo is a CR-220. Anybody have any ideas on what's going on and what I need to do? I did find one on Ebay if I need to replace it. Thanks Jeff

Have you checked the main fuse? (D8 on your fuse panel)

If that is okay then check the fuse on the back of the radio. You will need the radio removal keys for that.

Since your mechanic said that power was good, it is probably OK.

hopefully its some sort of fuse problem if not,,, CR220 will need 2 power sources - 1 constant power for your clock,memory + 1 ignition switched power then the BRN ground. U might want to meter those wires.
