I have the same problem and if I unplug the power cord from the back of the radio and plug it back in it works OK until I turn the car. I repair the 3610 with a 6112 and it works fine, So it's in the radio not the wiring.I have the same problem and if I unplug the power cord from the back of the radio and plug it back in it works OK until I turn the car.

I had to revise my first post to many mistakes. I have the same problem and if I unplug the power cord from the back of the radio and plug it back in it works OK until I turn the car off. I replace the jensen 3610 with a jensen 6112 which uses the same power cord and it works fine, So it's in the radio not the wiring.I had to revise my first post to many mistakes.

I dry fitted the Jensen CD3610 and no need of universal brackets. Then I bought the harnesses for the new toyota that I am installing this radio, wire for wire as instructed by the radio itself and the package of the harnesses I wired it, snapped in the harness from the car into the retro harness that I bought, I got power BUT NO sound. I flipped thru all the modes of the radio (bass, treble, fading, balance, volume, AUX, sound modes and even the MUTE button) all power works except we have no sound. I put back the old radio and it plays fine. I pulled out the fuse that is visible to see what would happen and still no sound. There’s 8 set of wires for the speakers, I would think that we could hear at least one speaker (even static or a crackling) Is there any other fuses? Is there a way you may know how to test the radio without taking my dash apart again? Please advice, Thanks, CHI_TOWNI dry fitted the Jensen CD3610 and no need of universal brackets.

Well, I admit it was poorly phrased, BUT, the problem here is that the red ignition wire isn't receiving power, thus the radio partially functions, but isn't being told to turn on.

Depending on the model, the Silverado may have an amplifier between the OEM radio and the speakers. If that is the case, you will have to remove it and wire directly to the speakers. Check the wiring schematics for the original truck radio option (one source is Alldatadiy.com).
1. Check the fuse at the radio and in the vehicles fuse box
2. Check the wiring of the radio to ensure nothing has come loose/disconnected
3. Remove the radio and test it on another power source to ensure it is working properly.
If it's not the fuse (Step 1) I recommend visiting a quality local Car Audio specialist and getting them to assist you.
First check the wiring to the radio. You may measure the power being ok but you also need to make sure the ground connection is ok.
If this is all ok it may be that you have dry solder joints on wiring socket inside the radio or a blown track or protection diode.
It sounds like the antenna wire may have come loose from the radio or the antenna - would be worth checking. Just remember, if you can't get in behind the radio, and you have to pull it, don't disconnect the wiring harness, or you'll need an unlock code to make the radio work again.
reinstall the factory radio use a digital volt meter to see witch wire supplies voltage when radio is turned on and off, note placement on harness then verify this wire is hooked up on the output side aftermarket harness you may have to jump it to get the maps to turn on. tip you can carefully pull unused wire from harness example (dimmer wire orange white) and move it to the position needed to keep it a clean install .
easiest thing first. check the fuse on the hot wire on the radio harness. next, check to ensure the hot wire is to battery power, and the acc (likely yellow or orange) is attached to a wire that turns on with the ignition. next, check to ensure good ground. all this should take less than 10 minutes.
yeah the samething happend to mine.i thought it was my cd,cuz every since i put a new cd in the cd3610 has been actin funny.but i think its just the jensen product
