Answer #1:
I have the same problem in my 03 P-71 crown vic . I tried two different radio's
both base AM/FM Radio's. neither one works. the radio will light up with the parking
lights on but no radio station number lights or sound. it has the the standard
harness. is there a fuse or something else I should be looking for? thank you
====================
Answer #2:
I had this exact problem with my '90 model interceptor and i traced it to a short in the power windows adjustment stick, try removing the knob and checking the wires.
====================
Answer #3:
Could be broke.
The radio is not getting power, or it is malfunctioning (not working) - make sure that BOTH power leads have power AND the factory fuse is not blown (or overloaded).
if it was me i go to junk yard fine your car and cut the radio wiers out then match them up
you have to power the remote wire, splice it into the power wire, it came with a factory amp. had the same problem.
That depends. There should be two red power wires on the back of an aftermarket deck. One will be 'constant' power, the other will be 'switched' power. The 'constant' one always has power, so that radio stations and other settings aren't erased when the vehicle is turned off. I'm assuming you're not using an adapter harness to connect the aftermarket deck directly to the GM radio harness.(always the preferable option) Most of the time(when not using an adapter harness) I will locate a pre-existing wire in the dash that is 'constant', and tap into that for the 'constant'. The 'switched' power can be connected to the factory radio's 'switched' power source. You'll have to figure out which wire that is in the GM harness and connect to that, or (not so ideally) cut that wire and connect it to the deck.
yes you can install an aftermarket radio in a GM vehicle that is equiped with a theft lock radio. the radio itsel has the theftlock not the car so you can install any aftermarket radio in the car. There may be some other parts that you may need to install an aftermarket radio such as a dash kit, wiring harness and antenna adaptor. If your vehicle is a newer model with Bose and onstar, you may need an integration kit made by PAC-audio.

A radio fuse might keep blowing if the radio itself needs an inline fuse in a 1997 Crown Victoria. It is possible that the radio and interior lights are not grounded properly. Installing an inline fuse between the radio and the fuse box may solve the problem of the fuse blowing.

You have to go purchase an aftermarket wiring harness. that will plug into the factory harness then you can wire it to the aftermarket radio.
Best Buy can order one for you, or you can go on ebay.com
Having just bought a 2003 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor myself, I googled the question. Here is a great site- 'http://www.p71interceptor.com/radio/' Also, google or eBay "DIN tools" for the $5 part that you need to easily remove the factory radio. Here's one site- 'http://www.crutchfield.com/S-SzVX5SwIXCB/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=120865618' Hope this helps.

check your fuses i believe they are on both sides of the dash and under the hood. if it is an aftermarket radio check to see if you are getting accessory power
if its for your aftermarket radio it shold be in the back of the radio also check your fuse pannel
