Yesterday the wife was driving along in her 2001 Durango R/T, and said she went over a bump and the radio quit working. The fuse in the fuse block is good. I probed the connectors on the fuse block and it's not getting power there.
Is there some inline fuse before the block that might have blown? Any way to track that power circuit back? I don't have the service manual for this thing. Am I looking at a bad ignition switch here? It doesn't work in run or acc key settings.
if thats the only thing that doesnt work you could always run a wire from the distribution block and stick an inline fuse in it. is it an aftermarket radio or oem?
Make sure that is your problem. Try a inline power supply then start a trace back for the fusable link.

Turns out that when they installed an aftermarket sunroof (7 years ago when new) they routed the wiring in such a way that it eventually chafed through and blew something in the under hood fusebox. Re-routed and repaired the line and all is good now.
No power to radio fuse
