I got it working again. Turns out both fuses were blown. The 15amp under the hood, and the 7.5 under the steering wheel. Thx everyone for the assistance.

Well I just found the 15amp radio fuse under the hood was indeed blown. I replaced it but still no power. This is definitely my doing. It was working fine until I pulled it out and touched wires incorrectly. I found another radio fuse under the steering column. It’s a 7.5 mini fuse. The plastic...

The link doesn’t work. Thx though.

Thank you for the reply.

Full disclosure, I have absolutely no clue abt car audio. A few years ago, I installed a simple, cheap BT head unit in my ‘08 Camry (w/o Nav, no JBL). Being that I’m amateur hour, I wired it with electrical tape. Everything was good until some idiot hit and ruined my car. I then got an ‘09...

@Coolhand20th Thank you very much for the advice. Going to to take some time to unpack and digest all that you said. I will try my best and report back. 🙋‍♂️

wow all these great replies! Thank you! Yeah, I like crutchfeild as well. I used them for my personal car when the speakers went bad. They are great. Seriously thank you all for the answers. I feel good moving forward. Wish I would have found this place first.

So the $150 + $50 warranty is the way to go? What typically causes these things to go bad? Age? Only reason I want aftermarket is for longevity. Don’t care about performance. It’s all standard stock/factory parts. Thanks for the reply!

My wife’s car lost all sound from each speaker. I have done a checklist of possible causes, and everything leads back to the stock amp. This problem started abt a year ago, and it still hasn’t been fixed. We’re both very busy people so these things get delayed. I posted this same request on a...
