Default Radio stopped working!! HELP!!

I just installed lowering springs. On the way back from the shop I discovered my radio is not working. Maybe there is a special way to turn it on somehow, i dont know. The manual doesnt say anything about it.
Does anyone know whats going on?????

I tried...nothing seem to work

Really boring to drive a car in absolute silence...besides of the motor and exhaust of course.

Prob gonna take to the dealer....its still under warranty for another few thousand miles.

I went to dealership since my car is still under the warranty.
They replaced the head unit, and it still doesnt work.

What could possibly go wrong after springs install????

went to dealership again today...
they order a brand new head unit for my car...guess what, it didnt work either
so there is nothing wrong with HU itself, and not fuses either
something wrong with the harness
they also found a line output converter in there, which is normally used for aftermarket amplifiers....i bought the car used, o i dont know what previous owner was doing with it
i guess he had an ampplifier in it, but took it off before selling the car

the sucks part about this whole thing is that my warranty wont cover any of this since they found those aftermarket connectors....they said they can fix it, but its gonna cost me bucks

alternative is that i was thinking about getting subs/amps for my car anyways, maybe I should take my car to an audio expert so he can put ones in and fix my harness at the same time...what do u think i should do?

if you bought the car used from a guy who had a different audio setup, then stripped it out it's possible it's nothing more than loose wires, or bad conneciton from where he ripped it out and repatched. If that's the case, the trouble will be locating the faulty connection.

Ok, problem is solved.
It was just a fuse. But toyota couldnt see it, so I went to subaru, its where I bought my tc used, and they tolod me its just a fuse, took them five minutes to fix it.

So as I was leaving, I asked subary to teach toyota technicians how to fix toyota cars.
