Aftermarket Jensen Radio

We have a 2018 Coachmen Leprechaun 260ds....had to disconnect and replace the battery....now the aftermarket Jensen Radio has died. Anyone else have the radio stop working?

    No radio is going to work without power so you'd want to first confirm with a DVM that it is in fact getting power. If not, could be a fuse in the converter that's opened or an inline fuse near the radio itself.
  • On my (decades older) Coachmen, the radio is powered by the house battery, and will not work if that battery disconnect switch is off. The radio itself is in the usual location on the dashboard; they ran a new wire or two for its power.
  • Does the display show anything at all? Some car stereo's have a security or theft deterrent feature that blocks their function until a code is entered into the unit.
    If so the screen will light up but the radio wont play till its entered.
