Had an after market radio installed several months ago. All was working well until a couple months ago when something went haywire in the electrical system (multiple lights on the dash came on, headlights went out, radio lost power, etc.). Pulled off the side of the road and turned vehicle off. When I turned it back on, everything seemed normal. I turned off the radio thinking it was the culprit. A few days later, since I had no further problems, I turned the radio back on and everything worked just fine until a few days ago when the radio just stopped working - won't even turn on. I checked the fuse box to see if the fuse had burned out but it was fine. So, not sure what happened unless the radio itself just died. Any thoughts?

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Wrangler.
Since your aftermarket radio was working fine for a while but suddenly lost power, it could be an electrical issue rather than just the radio itself. Even though the fuse appears fine, I'd suggest double-checking all connections behind the radio to ensure nothing is loose. The power and ground wires, in particular, might be disconnected or have a bad connection. It's also possible that the radio's wiring harness or the vehicle's electrical system could be malfunctioning due to a voltage drop or short. You could test the wiring with a multimeter to ensure power is reaching the radio.
