The stock radio in one of my Solara's is not turning on. I have checked both radio 1 and radio 2 fuses and none are blown. I also plugged the radio in my other solara and it worked fine. Any idea on what to check next?

Using a digital multimeter, verify that you have 12v on the blue/yellow wire (constant power) and gray wire (switched power - make sure your key is on) behind the radio. If either of those arent showing 12v then you missed a blown fuse somewhere. It may not be labeled as a "radio" fuse, so be sure to check all the fuses inside and under the hood.

Thanks,just the info I was looking for. I will let you know how it goes.

use a hammer and forcefully tap it until it turns on, that always works for me
