I have a 97 civic dx coupe and my kenwood single din radio went out and I was on a budget so I bought an OEM radio used and it doesnt want to turn on. The cigarette lighter works but the radio has no power it has 3 connectors on the back and the antenna. I plugged the bigger connector in and the antenna but the radio has a diagram stating the others are for a CD player and security which my car doesnt have. Any ideas and help is appreciated

 

The radio needs power from one fuse under the hood and one fuse under the dash. Check both.

 

alright I'll check them tomorrow thank you

 

The hood fuse is labeled Back Up.

 

the back up fuse was popped but I replaced it and still have no power.

 

Did the new Back Up fuse pop again after installation?

Did you also check the radio fuse in the dash fuse box?

 

it didnt pop again and the other fuse was fine but I dont have the diagram cover for the dash fuse is it supposed to be 10 amps?

 

Dash fuse 28 (10A)

 

thank you that got it to work but I found out the volume **** isnt working correctly so now I gotta figure that out
