Default Center Console wont power on (ML)

Hello All,

Any help or advise will be great.

My Center Console wont power on. Its a mark levinson. no buttons work - nothing on the lcd - nada...... totally off!!!!

I have an amp in the trunk where i get my "remote cable" from the ML amp in the trunk - so i know that the ML amp is not getting any power because my woofer amp is not turning on because it doesnt see the 5V +/-. weird....

I have checked all of the fuses i can think of and they all look great.

Right now i have the car disconnected from the battery so any capacitor in the car will drain and crossing my fingers that might do something when i put the battery back on.

Please help

Got a multimeter?

Have you tried taking the unit out and seeing if it is getting power?
Is your car battery dead?

same thing happened to me check the fuses under the glove box. where did you ground your amp to one of the existing factory grounds?
mine was a 7.5 or 10 amp fuse. i have a test light thought. they are tight in there so get a good fuse puller or a flathead and pop them all out one by one. mine didnt look blown but it was when i used the test light one side wasnt getting power on the fuse.
