Stereo is powered, and CD changer pumps out the jams, but the radio puts out nothing. I hit the "seek" or "scan" and it just rolls through the wavelengths - never stops, so I assume it is not getting a signal.

The antenna is still on and tight; the antenna cable is still attached to the rear of the stereo. Unplugging the stereo to "reset" it didn't help. Any ideas?

I searched quite a bit in the forums and found nothing like this. I did note some talked of a powered antenna, but would a 2000 GLX have such a thing? I didn't see a blue power cable... maybe a short in the antenna wire elsewhere?

Or just a half-dead deck?
Is your antenna plugged in? Not to the back of your radio, but I mean to your actual roof?
