Re: Radio won't turn on

I had that problem. However, the radio had been out of the car for years & replaced with an aftermarket unit which failed. Since I live in Ontario, canada, I sent the radio to a technician in London On & he had to replace every capacitor as they all leaked do to the age. Now, i cannot set the time but will live with that.
Repair cost a lot of $$$
There is a company in Michigan, M&R that can repair your radio. Company has a good reputation.

Almost always the factory Power Button ,....Easy to check/test with radio removed and basic tools.
