My aftermarket stereo (has been in the car for years) suddenly stopped working. Checked the ACC fuse, it is fine. I also pulled out the radio and checked a fuse that was in back connected to a wire, it too looked fine. Tried replacing it with a new unit and nothing too. Any other suggestions as to the cause?

yellow no, red yes. I connected the new radio wires as the old ones were connected. Considering a couple of days ago the stereo was fine, I figured that should be okay. I checked some fuses, but couldn't find anything that was actually labeled for the radio or cig lighter. I don't think the cig lighter is working either, at least its not saying that my ipod is charging when I hook it up. Is the cig fuse the same as the radio fuse? Is it perhaps called something different?

the solid yellow wire should have power as well the cig lighter fuse is not always on the same circuit . try switching the red and yellow wires to see if the radio will get power. if u have a test light check all the fuse as they can be marked different.
do you have power in either the solid red or yellow wires going to the radio?
