James,
I really appreciate you putting your thoughts into this. I have a
little more if/when you have time.
I have attached links to two schematics - the first is the radio/
antenna diagram...it showed the two fuses I checked - the 7.5a and 10a
- one coming from the ignition switch and one coming from the
battery.

Looking at the diagram attached below, radio only, it shows two fuses
coming off of the ignition switch - one going to the amp...and a THIRD
fuse coming off the battery - I just noticed this this morning...I
swear. But I I just came in from looking for the third fuse off the
battery but cannot see where it is. As I said before, I did pull the
radio the other day and could see no internal fuse nor an in-line fuse
anywhere.

I am convinced now that it is a fuse problem. Looking at the above
diagram, could that fuse coming off the ignition to the amp be located
all the way back at the amp?
