So I'm an idiot. I detached the battery for storage. I went out to winterize, reconnected the battery backwards. When I realized, I connected the battery properly. Everything works accept the radio. I checked the fuse, not blown. Flipped all the breakers, nothing. All appliances, outlets and lights are good. Anyone know why the radii won't turn on or how to troubleshoot it?

The radio is not connected to and does not need 12 volts. It only runs on 120V shore power. The pod must be plugged in.

most likely it has an internal fuse that blew on it.

It is plugged in to the house, the battery is draining though. I don't know if the house power is bad, but I've connected it before to charge the battery.

Ok, shorepower is only operating the micro, lights, tv. The air, furnace, refer and stereo will not work with only shorepower. They will, minus stereo, work when the battery is on. Any suggestions?

On "G" models, they have a 12v entertainment system..

Ah so. The light comes on, so to speak. Progress has been made from the 17X series.

Not sure what is happening, but here's an item to chaek: The power/fuse panel has a pair of fuses to protect in case the battery is reversed. One or both may be blown.

Charlie- that was it. Both are replaced. Everything but the radio is working fine. Pod is winterized and good to go. Taking it to the dealership so they can look at it. Service said it may need a new fuse or just need to be replaced.
Thanks guys!
