   Hello,   
      
   I bought an old Ford Ranger digital AM clock radio from a pull-a-part.   
   I was surprised to learn that they bothered to make an AM-only digital   
   radio by the 90's.  One would think after analog radios, it would have   
   been cheaper to make all the "new" digital radios AM and FM.  I figure   
   it's rare to see one of these AM radios today, not replaced.   
      
   Someone chopped the radio wiring harness in my truck (I wish I saved the   
   harness from the yard).  I wired another harness in, but I somehow   
   shorted the hot wire off of the radio ground, I believe.  It make a   
   quick spark at first, and now the radio doesn't function.  The   
   back-light will illuminate when the headlights are turned on, but that's it.   
      
   I'm hoping someone has an idea on how to fix this.  I'd like to wire in   
   a closed circuit 1/8" AUX audio jack, and use the radio in my truck.  I   
   did that with a stock GM Delco radio once.  As soon as you plug the jack   
   in, it cuts the radio off.  I don't see anything burnt inside the radio.   
     Maybe I need to replace a capacitor or resistor?   
      
   Thank you all in advance for any solutions!
