Anyone know why the radio won't power up after jumping the car. The fuse is good and its not in safe mode, it won't come on at all. It's a 1998 A4 avant

 

i had the same problem in my 96 a6, turns out there is a secondary fuse behind the radio. Someone here with more knowledge can chime in but that's what the fix was for me. It was beige fuse i believe...

 

+1...just change that fuse out

 

If the radio is backlit when the cars lights are on, i would try pulling the fuse for 10 seconds at the fuse block and then putting it back. Otherwise if it isnt backlit I would say like someone said earlier it is the fuse at the back of the radio itself if the fuse at the fuse block isnt blown.

 

You guys were right it was the fuse in back of the radio (5amp)
Thanks
