Radio no power!

Just got my Golf back after being in body shop for 2 months and everything is great except radio has zero power? The owners manual doesn’t list a dedicated radio fuse? Inspected most fuses and all seem fine. Which fuse powers radio? 12 v socket has power as does everything else? Car had ft left damage from collision with deer so battery was removed and replaced. Where is THE RADIO fuse? Thanks guys.

Plus there’s a 10amp fuse on the back of the radio

We checked 42 and it’s fine?

Then you have to pull radio out. Mine did same thing

What exactly do you check for after pulling radio?

There should be a 10amp fuse on the right side of the radio

10-4 what’s the easiest way to pull the radio?

You have to get these little pins to release it. YouTube it

Is the 10amp fuse near the antennae connection?

Yes once you pull out the radio and look on the back you cant miss it. I have a similar issue going on. My radio will die and not turn on at random sometimes without blowing a fuse. I just unplug it, plug it back in, and it works fine again.

Just curious. Do you have LED headlamps now/before?

No halogen osram bulbs in depo glass projector lights.

Not that i know of. Maybe some previous owner might have but not me

I have absolutely no idea why this works but three or four times with my 2002 jetta and 2006 jetta wagon I have pulled the 42 fuse out for a few seconds, put it back in and it works fine. The fuse doesn't blow but it must reset something. And maybe since the radio always has power this cutting of the power does the job despite the key being turned off when it shuts off automatically. Did you test the fuse in place or pull it out? Louie710 does the same thing by unplugging the radio from behind.
