Have a aftermarket radio that will light up withought face attached when car is turned on. but when i attach face there is no power to it. the blinking power led wont blink when car is off but is bright red when car is on....tried reset button but doesnt do anything. was working perfectly..car sat for a few months and it stopped working. Tried every possible way to hook it up and test..but same...lights up withought the face but put the face on and nothing...turn car off and all goes off...i remember it used to blink when car was off....im stumped..

dip a q tip in rubbing alcohol and clean the gold bars that transfer power to the faceplate, both at the deck and on the plate. Let it dry completely and then install the faceplate. Make sure it fits properly. If its loose you won't get the proper contact. They can tarnish or get dirty over time and I see this sometimes especially in cars where people smoke. If its a connection problem this will usually fix it, if not you are likely looking at a new deck.
