Radio won't turn on
I had a dead battery last night. After I got a jump everything in the car is working except the radio. The radio is blank and won't turn on. I checked the internal fuses and everything looks fine. It worked perfectly fine before the battery dead. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix it? I don't have the money to take it in right now and hoping for ideas I can look at myself. Thanks!!

No engine, model type or year given, you people don't look after yourselves well at all.........there may well be 2-3 different radios in that vehicle and every one requiring something different.
Let's make this as hard as we can, and still dare to ask for FREE help.
AND, if the battery is truly dead or you have added to it by driving long enough with a dead battery to then fry the alternator too, the radio may well be the least of your problems.

). Rogues all have the same engine so it was pointless to mention that. The rest of the details, save for the trim level, are in her profile.Damage was done during a jump start
If the cables were hooked up backward at any point, and your radio stopped working as a result, then the radio may well be fried. And quite aside from your radio, any number of other components could also be fried.
- Electrical system components can be damaged during a jump start if precautions aren't taken.
- Check the relevant fuses and fusible links before you condemn the radio.
- If the radio has both power and ground, then it probably has an internal fault.

Re: Radio won't turn on
About that trim level m8, the 2016s has multiple radios, so OP needs to specify on which trim they have or what radio their Rogue is equipped with.Rogue One wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 5:52 amOoh, someone's in a cranky mood (that's my jobamc49 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 8:55 pmNo engine, model type or year given, you people don't look after yourselves well at all.........there may well be 2-3 different radios in that vehicle and every one requiring something different.

Radio is least of my worries, unless you (OP) has the 360 camera option, then I'd start worrying. Also, like stated before, something in the electrical system got fried.

Re: Radio won't turn on
From a general technical (ignoring all specifics) standpoint it sounds like some part of the circuitry in the radio itself was damaged either when the vehicle lost power (if it was running when it lost power?) or from being jumped, perhaps capacitor damage, if you're good with electronics it may be possible to take it apart and troubleshoot the boards, but the time it'd take it'd probably make more sense to replace it.. 
Re: Radio won't turn on
There's a fuse under the hood for the radio. Change that and you will be good to go.
