Removed Instrument Cluster Now Radio Doesn't Work
I am in the process of replacing my stock instrument cluster with a custom dash panel & new Marshall gages. With the stock cluster removed, I needed to take a test drive for some other maintenance work I was doing and I noticed that the radio (an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player) would not turn on. I used a conversion connector to install the new radio several years ago, so it gets power from the original radio power circuit.
Does anyone know if the radio power circuit goes thru the gage cluster and if so, which cluster connector and/or what wire color?

The radio power does not go thru the dash.
You apparently pulled or broke a connection.
Physically trace the yellow wire from the RADIO fuse, and the orange wire from the ARC fuse.

Re: Removed Instrument Cluster Now Radio Doesn't Work
Yea, you are right. I put the cluster back in and my radio still has no power. I guess I might have jostled some wires somewhere in the dash when I took out the cluster . . . Troubleshooting time!
Thanks
