I have a 2006 Honda Accord EX 4-cylinder car with 175,000 miles on it. My radio suddenly stopped working last week while driving?

My radio suddenly stopped working last week while driving. I tried to power it back on, but was unable to do so. It stayed off until we got to our destination. Then serveral hours later, we started home and it powered back on. However, since then I have been unable to power it on. I checked/replaced the f10 amp fuse (radio #5), but it was not blown.

I had the xm radio antenna replaced a month ago, because the garage door met the antenna box on the roof of the car while backing out of the garage and damaged it. The Honda dealer replaced it. It worked fine (XM radio, FM, AM, CD) however for several weeks until the incidnet occurred last week.

Any ideas?

Added (1). I just went out and checked every fuse in the cabin and the BACKUP/ACC 40 amp fuse in the engine compartment,

They were all good, but after removing/re-inserting the cabin fuses, the radio now powers on?

Added (2). I noticed that there was some sort of energizing noise when I re-inserted a few of these. Perhaps these were relays?

Check for power and ground at the connector with key ON or ACC. If there's both power and ground, the radio has died. See a car audio shop if you do not know how to take the radio out of the dash.

It's probably just a loose harness.

  • Would you purchase a 2004 Honda pilot for $6,000.000 that has 216,000 miles on it? I'm just browsing online looking at cars for sale and a lot of them have 200k or more miles on them and they want $4,000 or more. Why do people sale their cars for such a high price with a lot of miles on them? Its not just Hondas its all types of cars private and dealers as well
  • Motorcycle choke stopped working suddenly? I have a 1986 Honda rebel 450 that has never had a problem starting. I always use the choke if its cold and its always worked perfectly. However, the today when the bike was running, i put the choke on to see if it was working and it had no effect on the idle whatsoever. I now can't start my bike easily since the choke doesn't work. Does this sound like a bad choke cable? Is a choke cable the same as a throttle cable? I can't find them anywhere.
  • Radio antenna stopped working? I have 1999 honda civic. The radio dosnt get any stations except one or two? When I first got the car the radio worked like a charm. One day my friend accidentally hit the antenna on the top of my car and now it dosnt work. I tried putting a new radio in it and it did the same thing. I have never heard of an antenna breaking though. Can it happen?
  • 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder vs 8 cylinder vs 10 cylinder? Which is better to get? On small sized cars such as Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Lancer and Toyota Corolla you're stuck with 4 cylinder, since 6-cylinder is not available as the option What if I get v8 or v10 vehicles… Is there any problems?
