My Radio will not come on. It does not even show the time. It seems to have occurred after I used the (Storage/Use) toggle, switch because the Radio worked before that. It doesn't seem to have power, but all the lights in the camper work after putting the switch back to the use position. I tried toggling it back and forth a few times but it didn't help. Not sure if the Radio has a separate fuse or not. Anyone have suggestions?

I did just find some info on the Radio when I entered the Radio on Google and it went to some Forum posts that referred to my Radio so I have a couple things to Check.

You may have an inline fuse in the wire feeding the radio.

Get your volt meter out and check to see if power is getting to the radio. Start with the basics, it makes trouble shooting easier.

I did pull Radio out and it does have power to Radio. When I plugged the connector back into radio I now only get static on the Radio and I don't get anything showing on the face of the radio. No time indication, and buttons on radio don't change anything. I think Radio may be shot.

What year is it? The Jensen radios are junk. Years ago on another MH it had a Jensen radio/camera. I had similar issues as yours, it would come back and then go dead - always at the worst time. I replaced with it with a good name brand. I think either Sony or Pioneer. The Camera/radios are pretty plug and play.

There should be (2) fuses in-line. One keyed hot for power, one always hot for memory; time, pre-sets, etc. Make sure than one is good.

I took the Jensen out of ours, I'll check the model number. I may have a replacement if you need it.
