Curly, you may have something. I believe the cable did get crossed for
an instant during the boost. I have not checked the radio fuses
because I can't find them; they don't seem to be in the fuse box in the
engine compartment. Remember the display on the radio indicates that
it is working. I can see channels and when I turn the volume knob, I
see the volume incrementing. When you say "wrecked", what do you mean?
