Exclamation Help!! Factory radio died this morning!

I was on my way to work this morning when my radio just cut off. I tried to turn it back on but got nothing. I'm at work now and haven't had a chance to look at it but could it be the fuse? Or if not how much does a replacement factory radio cost? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I might have to look at the black market but I would like to see if the problem is only a simple blown fuse or an easy fix. Does anyone else have any input on this?

Did the sound just cut off or did the whole thing just loose power? If it completely lost power, it's probably just a fuse.

Do your cneter console lights still work? If not then a unit replacement is necessary under warranty. Stiil, your unit should be covered until 50000 miles.

Yes the center console lights still work but my warranty is long gone, I have 71,000 miles. BTW guys thanks for the input I'll check the fuse when I get off.

Werd! Lots cheaper than replacing the stereo! But if you needed an excuse to change it.......no better excuse than, "It doesn't work!"
