Fuse is fine, no idea whats going on. Why would it just die?

Any ideas? Common problem? never had a problem before.

Any others anomalies?

Disconnect the battery negative terminal for a few minutes. See if that helps.

seems like an odd fix, but I will give it a shot. surely cheaper than buying a replacement radio if it works

Just like rebooting a computer. And it's free.
Hope it works for you.

My radio did the same thing just before the battery died...may be coincidence but figured I'd throw it out there...
