Consult the owner's manual and check the numbers identifying the fuses related to the car radio that won't turn on. Open the hood and locate the fuse box, which is on the left side, near the passenger side. Check the diagram to see if the radio fuses are located here.

If not found, locate them in the fuse box inside the car and check if they need to be replaced. It is located to the left/bottom of the steering wheel.

Finally, check the fuse that is right behind the radio. To do this, insert the appropriate release tools into the slots to unlock the clips and, using a plastic lever, pull out the radio.

Identify the fuse and replace it if necessary. Now, in most cases, you should have resolved the issue.
