Take it from a guy who has chased wiring in jets for 20 years. You have 2 choices when it comes to a problem like this:

1.) (The easy way) You can run a new wire from the radio to the fuse box.
2.) (The right way) Rip the dash apart. Chase the wire through everywhere that it goes until you find where it is broken or shorted.

Both of these methods work very well. Just depends on what you want to do.

Running a whole new wire is the sure bet that you will have a good clean connection, Bro.
