1997 3500 clock works but no radio

[mraganpbr]

I had an issue with my battery on this truck. I was swapping tail lights on the flatbed. I ran the battery dead and had to jump start it. This is an old farm truck but the radio was working. I checked the fuse and when I pull the fuse the clock goes dark. Put the fuse back in the clock comes back but no radio. Am I missing a fuse somewhere? I pulled fuse 17 on the side dash panel. Is there a second fuse I could be missing? It is the Delco Electronics radio with the CD player attached underneath it. Thanks in advance.

There are 2 fuses for the radio #17 &#19 in the dash fuse box. Whenever I have an issue like this I use a test light and check all the fuses, it only takes a minute and it is easier  to do than deciphering the abbreviations on the map

Good call. Looks like both of the fuses are good. Is there a fuse on the radio itself that could have blown leaving the radio part dead but the clock still working and keeping time?

[richard wysong]

No. Did you check all the fuses with a test light?

[mraganpbr]

Yes sir. All checked good. I have a volt Meter and verified continuity.

If I remember correctly 1 row of fuses is difficult to see and that may be where fuse 19 is

Yeah I got to 19 even pulled it and checked it with the meter and visually. It was good.  I am sure I am grasping at straws and it probably needs a new radio.
