So yesterday my radio and clock stopped working so I checked the fuse and apparently my back up fuse under the hood burned out so I bought some 7.5 amp fuse and replaced the burned one. Then today, it burned out again. What could be the problem and how can I fix it? It has happened 4 times in total ever since owning the car. The car is a 1992 honda civic sedan btw.

Something in the circuit is shorting out. It's usually damn near impossible to know which wire(s) to check for shorts without a service manual or wire schematics. Popular forum, somebody will probably come along and tell ya which wires to check.

Yeah I thought that it could be shorting out.. so it's almost impossible to fix.. :/

Thanks for your input though.

Not at all. You just need to know which wire(s) to check- and for that you need a service manual or wire schematic. And know how to use a multi-meter.

It's generally the constant power wire (Wht/Blu) at the rear of the radio that is shorting out.

Yeah it is the White and Blue wire that could be the problem. Do you know what I should do? It's a blue wire with a white stripe right?
