Blew a radio fuse

[BC Lightning]

I checked all the fuses in the driverside compartment and all are good, where else could I check. Im getting nothing from the radio.

There is the panel under the hood but not sure about radio stuff up there. Stock radio I assume? Aftermarket radios have more fuses behind the stereo itself.

Did you swap it to check ?

What Doug said, I have had a couple that worked fine and then they quit and looked good but after further inspection I discovered that they had a cold sodier spot and was not getting continuity through them therefore they were open and bad.

A good suggestion to swap them out and see it that fixes the issue.

I'll grab some fuses and check, thanks

just swap another one in its place for a test - if it works then you know what to do ...

nope not it, changed the #8 5 amp fuse 4 times with new fuses, then switched every brown 5 amp fuse and still no radio :confused:

I thought I had the LED wire (amp turn on/off wire) insulated good and while putting it through the hole I drilled in the bed it hit the metal and poped. Not sure if it is off a different fuse

just pull the radio out and see if something came loose. it is usually something simple like that.

[BC Lightning]

Already did that

Check the power at the back of the radio and see if it is in the head unit.

I really do have a feeling it is the head, I haven't checked, but have that feeling :hammer:

You figure this out yet? I can take a look for you if you are going to the meeting tonight, or you are welcome to stop by the house any other time if you don't mind the drive to Mansfield.
