Traced the gremlin to a cell phone adapter that was wired in. Apparently there was a short in the cell phone harness. Radio is working fine now. Thanks for everyone's help/suggestions.

lotsa miles, 57K to be exact. I told them that this was a 'non-mileage' related piece of equipment and that the time factor was more applicable than the 50k limit, but they essentially said 'too bad, $650 please'

Head unit working fine one minute and completely dead the next. Checked both fuses and both are okay. Would like to pull the unit from the dash and check connections, but the dealer says that it is theft deterrent and requires 'special' tools. Anybody pulled the head unit out and willing to share knowledge? Anything else that I need to check before removing the unit? Would really rather avoid paying the dealer $650 for new unit plus installation. New to the site, thanks for the pointers.
