I have a Kenwood stereo that is not responding to any buttons or remote. I did all the necessary unscrews to get to the stereo console and was able to un/replug it. I checked the cables and they look ok, except for one loose orange cable. There is a connector of sorts that has wires held together with electrical tape. Stereo still playing crap static station and unable to change. Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

Stereo does turn on, but nothing shows on console, and no button pushing yield results.

Weird about orange wire, as dimmer to lights works. I will doublecheck the harness adapter wiring.

Thanks for the tip.

is it a flip face? if so i bet it is the ribbon cable that connects the face to the unit itself... i have seen those go out many times
