oops screwed up on that one. if it's not getting power you'll have to see if radio is sending powr to it. there is a micro processor behind glove box that sends power to up or down relay on right side of trunk. gruund wire is there as well make sure that is clean then try jumping the up relay. i think if you jump the twowires i've pointed out it may go up see pic
