2000 chevy blazer radio broken?
 

the other morning i climbed inside my car and realized that the radio was not working as it had the night before ( less then 12 hours) it still lights up and everything and i can hit the recall button and have it show the time but other than that it does nothing else. one of my friends told me that it might be locked. so the first question i have is how do i know if it is locked or not...and the second is does anyone know where i can find a wiring diagram of what color of wires do what back behind the radio

If it was locked, it would say "LOC" on the display.

Turn the radio on, hit the seek to try another strong station, turn volume way up, adjust balance and fader to try each speaker individually, and then try with a CD. did you check the fuses? If you have the factory add on amp, and the fuse is blown, you'll get no sound.
