2015 scarab 215

Hello. I have a 2015 scarab 215 and neither of my remotes front or back will work for the radio has anyone else had this problem and know a fix?

Remotes? What kind of stereo? I have a 2014 Scarab 215HO - has a Sony stereo radio/cd player. I haven't upgraded it yet. The only "remote" I have is a small panel at the helm. No issues with anything. Is the remote RF or IR? i.e. Does it need line of sight to control it?
For "remotes" in general, as opposed to hardwired remote panels like mine, things that make them fail: Batteries, Pairing of remote & device,

No it’s the small pad at the helm and the same one at the rear of the boat. I can’t seem to find a fuse or anything for them. Just stopped working

Hmmm, I don’t have one at the stern. Only at the helm. But it Sounds like a loose wire. Does the stereo itself play - when accessed directly? Could be a loose cable/harness behind the stereo or perhaps behind the helm. There’s an access cover to the helm wiring behind the seat back in the bow.
I don’t have the writing schematic handy with me. Others have attached them in this forum. Find the remote in the schematic and work back towards the radio - Im guessing from other experience that it’s a direct connection.
