Orange radio wire issue
Hey everyone, after scouring the forums time and time again I’m still left with the issue of my orange wire, which is supposed to be hot at all times to the radio not receiving any power. I’ve checked all fuses and still nothing. I had read that the convenience center sometimes has a fuse for the radio but mine does not have that. Am I missing something that the old forums didn’t go over?
Also here is a picture of the fuse box and convenience center. Maybe someone can identify a missing fuse or something. Also my convenience center doesn’t appear to have a fuse for the radio like some do.

Re: Orange radio wire issue
I’m using a browser that doesn’t show your cars info,…. But I’m guessing you gave an 85 or earlier Thirdgen. I know some of the early cars used a fuse-block ‘tap’ for radio power from the factory; and I’m guessing yours is missing. 😡 For cars with a power antenna,… that ‘tap’ will have a second port for ORANGE full time power to the P- antenna. Here is a diagram showing that circuit as well as the actual fuse-box tap.
