Greetings friends. I need some help with an electrical issue in my '99 LC. I was driving along when my Kenwood 2-din head unit went dark. I have since determined:

- No blown fuses (engine bay, driver's side kick panel)
- No power coming through the factory stereo harness (I pulled the dash apart and plugged the original factory stereo back in, no power)
- Stock radio antenna not getting power either (motor doesn't spin with ignition)
- In-dash factory 12V outlets (cigar and aux) also not getting power
- The rest of the dash works (HVAC, vents, etc)

I am super stumped. The radio was professionally installed, the wiring connections are nice and tight and well insulated. Has anyone had this kind of thing happen before? What haven't I checked???
 
For the stereo I would next look at the stock amp if it is still present and part of the system.
I have a 98 EWD at home and will take a look to see if the 12v outlets and radio are connected somewhere.
You are checking fuses in the drivers kick panel AND engine bay right?
