Hi, I noticed that my radio stopped turning on so I checked the fuse under the hood and its bad. I replace it with another fuse and still, the radio does not turn on. I check the audio fuse I just replaced and it also goes bad. What's going on? Anyone have a clue?

 

Did it just stop turning on out of the blue? Was anything done prior to this time that may have caused the problem?

 

From one day to another, just quit. The leds on the radio light up but nothing from the display.

 

When a fuse blows its because its receiving more current than it can handle and it blows to prevent damage of more expensive components. Check you wiring. You might be getting a surge and could also look at a voltage stabilizer to correct this problem

 

Something shorting. Did you recently run any new wires.

 

what he said

 

That fuse under the hood sends power to 3 things - the head unit in the dash, the speaker amplifier in the trunk and the 6 CD changer (if you have one). Unplug the amplifier and the CD changer and see if the fuse still blows. If yes, then the head unit is screwed. If no, plug in the other things one at a time and turn on the power and check the fuse each time to find the problem unit.

 

Or maybe a grounds wire...
