Today my radio and clock stopped working. I found athe blown fuse under the hood and right when I put in the replacement, it blew. I tried it a second time and that one blew immediatly also. I used the same amperage fuse, so I dont know whats wrong. ANy ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

you have the stock radio or aftermarkt ? if aftermarket is it installed right could be bad ground?

make sure the power is off when installing a new fuse

 

The power was off. It's an aftermarket headunit...and I have not checked the ground. I'll do that tomorrow, any other ideas?

 

It could be a short. Check the positive wires to make sure they are not touching any ground points.

 

make sure the harness was installed properly. unplug your battery. install new fuse... and try to replug the battery

 

Take your radio out with the harrness. (if you used one) I bet the power wire is touching ground or a ground wire. If you take the plug off the radio but leave the harness still in and the short is gone it could be the radio unit. Also make sure when the radio is in place none of the wires are against a sharp edge.
