Hey Everyone,

I have a 2000 Accord LX 4cyl. So I was bumped from behind while driving and about 10 minutes later my outlet (I was charging my phone) and radio stopped working. I don't know if the rear end accident and these two things shutting off are related or not.

What could be the problem here and how can I fix it?? My car is the only way I can charge my phone, NOOOOO!

 

Check your fuses.

Also, how much damage was done? A wire could have been possibly cut or the insulation around it and could have caused a short.

 

There wasnt much damage at all, just a small hairline crack on the rear bumper.

I really dont have much experience with anything electrical, when I check the fuses what am I looking for?

 

The radio and power socket are on the same fuse circuit. The fuse is likely blown. It's a 20A fuse in the passenger side dash fuse box, at the very end of the 2nd row of fuses.

 

My friend, you were right! I blew a fuse! Thanks guys!!!
