FAQ
Q: My radio isn’t working after installing it. What could be the issue?
A: There are a few things that could be causing your radio to not work. First, double check that all the wiring is properly connected and secure. If the wiring checks out, the issue could be with the fuse for the radio. Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses. If none of these solutions work, there may be an issue with the radio itself and it may need to be replaced.

A: The difficulty level of installing a new radio in your 2009 Mercury Mariner will depend on your level of experience with car audio systems.
