It's definitely not powering up. I'm assuming it's not because the fan isn't spinning. I might dig into the wiring next to see if it's cut anywhere.

4 asterisks?

are there 4 asterisks on the display below the Porsche.

This would indicate you need to input a 4 digit code.

Nope nothing like that. I can actually flip through radio stations, adjust settings, etc. just no sound.

You have a 2003 so there is no radio code. The radio is coded to the ECU, it will only work in your car. If this radio isn't the original radio in your car, that might be the problem, I don't know what happens when another CDR-23 is installed in a car, other than it won't work. 2003 also uses the MOST fiber optic bus, so it could be something related to that. These two things are different in the 2003 and 2004 986's vs all the earlier years. That's all I've got, sorry I don't have a real answer.

I wish I could be more help. At least you can probably narrow the search down to the amp if it indeed is not powering up. I also don't know if the amp has a separate fuse or not. I would assume it has the same fuse as the head unit, but you never know. Would be nice if it was just a simple bad fuse issue. If fuse is ok, I'd try unplugging the amp and plugging back in just to make sure it has a good seated connection
