2010 RT A/C. Radio playing on FM then went silent. Thought station problem but I couldn't change stations nor could I switch to AM. Volume bar went up and down but not sound.

This morning when I had more time to look, the radio display was gone entirely. There was no sound bar visible and no station showed in the display.

The other functions on the switch work such as time set, set the A B trip odo.

Any clues as to what would cause this strange behavior?

There was a warranty bulletin put out regarding possible water infiltration causing corrosion with the FM module.
It says it was only for model years 2012 & 11 that came with factory installed radio, but for all years if the radio was installed by the dealer.
If you still have warranty, I say take it to the dealer and have them test it.

I'd think that a loose power connection could do it...
If that's good; then I'd check the fuses...
Good Luck! Let us know what you find! :thumbup:

Not the fuse. Where is the power connection located?

Mystery magic. After two days the radio started playing again all on its own without any help from me. Very strange.

Likely a bad connection somewhere.
