I have an aftermarket Kenwood stereo installed in my 240 and it died about a month or two ago. I am just getting around to trying to fix it. here's the unit - it's the kind that has a detachable front-face with the unit behind it:

so I am getting 7.3V on each of the pins that connect to the front face. I assume that that means the front-face is dead - since the front-face won't turn on when plugged in. I have not torn the whole center console apart to check the wiring to the amp down below, but I removed the center cover near the windshield and it looked like the wiring to the Kenwood unit was pretty clean.
does it seems reasonable to conclude the front-face is dead or not? if not, how should I proceed troubleshooting?
