Radio doesn't have any power!
Radio was working when put in storage now getting ready to ride and the radio doesn't work. Suggestions? Fuse is good.

Re: Radio doesn't have any power!
I think when a 1800 battery charge gets low enough it will divert all power to starting. Does the battery show a proper charge when load tested? Or maybe see if the radio will come on when a trickle charger is hooked to the battery.
