Dead VHF?

[Whole in the Water]

My VHF radio will not turn on. It all started after my postive battery cable became loose and I had intermittent power a few times until quickly fixed it. Ever since then radio will not turn on, even after I checked the external fuse(OK) and hooked it up to another 12v power source.

So anyone have any ideas what may have gone wrong?

The radio doesn't have an internal fuse - maybe a bad diode?

Even though the fuse looks ok-change it-I have had a few that looked perfect in circumstances like yours and the fuse was gone but didn't look it. Easiest thing to check and make sure.!!!

take it off and hook it directly to the battery

I have hooked it up directly to the battery and it still won't turn on. That's why I wonder if it is an internal diode that is gone?

Lost me now-if you are sure there is no internal fuse i'll hand it over to some radio whiz. Good luck!!
