#1 of 1 Changed Alternator Belt - Now No Power to Radio Only by opus500 Aug 23, 2008 (1:53 pm)
I wonder if anyone has been thru this - I have a 1996 Quest GXE - can't get rid of it after 12 years - wife rarely drives and I drive my truck...Van has less than 100k and still looks and runs great...at least until about 3 weeks ago when it threw an alternator belt. I had to go out of town on business and the wife had my truck so I let it sit until today when I changed the belt - what an incredible pain that was - jumped the van from one of my trolling motor batteries and all was well - except no power whatsoever to the radio. All else works - blowers, lights, horn, wipers, etc...Looked under the dash - two fuses for audio; a 7.5amp and a 20 - both are fine. Power antenna is dead as well. Any thoughts by someone who has been through this - factory Am/FM/Cassette with controls in the back and on the steering wheel as well.
