02 f350 xl with factory cd player. I have power going to the unit like the clock but will not turn on completely. I have checked all the radio fuses and they are fine. I also swapped another factory radio from another one of my trucks and it does the same thing. Any thoughts?

 

Check all the fuses with a test light. Sometimes there is a fuse that has nothing to do with the radio that supplies power to it. The owners manual usually does not show all the fuses that are for a particular circuit---only the major uses of that fuse. A few months ago, I replaced the dome lamp assembly in my truck. I accidentally blew the fuse associated with that circuit when I pulled the lamp out of the depression in the roof panel without knowing it. Besides the lamp not working when I installed the new one, the radio and the power windows would not work. As I said above, check ALL of the fuses with a test light--I'm sure you'll find one blown.

P.S. The clock in the radio is on a different circuit than the radio itself.

 

Your a genius, took all of 2 minutes with a test light to figure out the problem. Thanks again!

 

Which fuse was it??? It would help a lot I'm having the exact problem as well! Would help a lot thank you!!

 

Can you let me know wat fuse it is please?? Would really appreciate it!

 

Had the same problem, went to change the dome lights on the inside of the truck, and must have blew a fuse. Took a light tester tool, and checked all the fuses. Found the fuse and put a new one in now my radio is working normal. The fuse was located inside the cab under the dash, it was a 10 amp (red)fuse at the very bottom of the panel. Which I believe was for the cluster:
