Message:
Good Morning,
I have a 96 dakota as a second vehical and this morning when i got in it, the factory radio has stopped working. Nothing will turn on, the time is not even displayed. I replaced the fuse and that did not help. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can check?
Thanks

there are actually two fuses that supply the radio. One is marked "RADIO" which is for the key-on feed. There's another fuse for the battery (constant) power feed, which is most likely shared with the interior lights. might want to check the rest of the fuses to be sure.

Wow! The manual makes no mention of this, I will check it when I go out for lunch. Would something else be amiss if this "other" fuse is blown. I can recall anything other elctrical not working. Thanks so much for the help.

Well checked the fuses and the box under the hood and nothing looks blown. Itlooks like Im going to have to get a new one, I havn't pulled it out yet but I have that feeling. I'm probably going to try one of those salvage yards where you pull the parts you need from a "graveyard" of junked cars. I need a few light covers as well, which raises the question...What other dodge models have the same factory AM/FM cassette player that the 1996 dakota has? Id like this info, just in case they dont have one from a Dakota. Thanks for the help.

Pretty much all of them of that vintage. The only exceptions I can think of are the Grand Cherokee and Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze. The two mounting "ears" on the radio were in different positions for those vehicles. Most others were interchangable.
