I have a 2001 Mercedes CLK55 AMG. All of a sudden a couple of days ago the radio will not power on. I have checked all the fuses with my test light and they all appear to be fine. I have pulled the radio out to heck the fuse behind it and it is also good. I checked the wiring with my test light and I can not seem to find a switched power wire. This is the cassette player up front with the cd changer in the rear. The changer in the rear will eject the magazine so it does have power. The system is 100% stock. I am lost. Any ideas?

Switched power is pink/Green, I believe right next to the constant wire. If 12v is present when the key is forward, check your ground wire and see if it shows low resistance to ground. And finallly check your 12v constant. But I believe this should be fine since your CD changer is working.

If all those check out ok, then your unit is shot.
