This probably a real easy simple solution problem, but i'll admit it, i don't know what a dead fuse looks like. This kid i was driving home from the skatepark decided it would be cool to stick a screwdriver in where the ciggarette lighter goes, hit the back of it, and now my headunit won't go on, it's totally dead, is it just a fuse, and if it is where would it be located..sorry about another DUMB question..

 

I wired up a different headunit but it doesn't come on...but power goes to it(the stock acura headunit has a small red light that flashes)

 

Ok look under your dash board were all the fuses are I had this problem in my own car now you will see a 15 volt fuse witch I think is the red one now remove it and look through it all perfectly fine fuses will look like a horse shoe a blown one will not it will not connect all the way through

Fuses are measured in amps not volts. check the fuses under the dash and the 15 amp fuse under the hood. One of those is blown.

 

there should be just alttle latch that will say fuses just open that and find the one thats blowin and replace it there not hard to spot

 

yeah i found it! wow i feel like a retard. it was a 15amp. haha thanks guys!!
