Re: head unit question
check the fuse in the fuse box, if that one's good, there should be an inline fuse somewhere behind the radio. If those good, I'd agree with the ribbon...

Re: head unit question
I just had the exact same problem with my kenwood. The problem is the D-Mask cd players (the ones that the faceplate flips over to hide itself). It seems that they just stop working after a few years. The ribbon cable is a posibility but on mine that wasnt the case. I just had to get a whole new cd player b/c the electronics on the inside just went bad. The new line of kenwood cd players dont feature the D-Mask anymore.
