So the other day I had to have my jeep jumped because I had left the parking lights on After it was jumped, the stereo wouldn't work. It won't even turn on; its just black. I have a pioneer stereo in my 98 XJ. I checked all the fuses and found two blown ones (no idea if they even had anything to do with my stereo) and replaced them and still nothing.

Please help, this is extremely frustrating

 

Did you check the fuse in the back of the deck?

 

Not sure what you mean by that? I checked the fuses under the hood and in the passenger kit panel.

 

There is usually a fuse on the back of aftermarket decks near where the wiring harness plugs in.

 

XJ99MN is correct, it's usually as shown in the pic, but occasionally inline in the power wire to the deck.

 

Thanks for the help everyone. I checked the fuse on the back there and it was fine but something about unplugging and plugging it back in caused the thing to start working so all's good! Thanks again!

 

Thanks for reporting back, and glad you got it fixed!
