Why is my new car radio not working?
A car radio will have at least one fuse to protect the unit from things like power surges or other electrical issues. Often, simply replacing the bad fuse will solve the problem. However, if the new fuse blows out shortly after it was installed, a different problem with the electrical system will need to be addressed.
How do you check a radio fuse?
To locate the radio fuse, refer to the owner’s manual or the diagram on the reverse side of the fuse block cover. There will typically be a drawing of the fuse block that identifies fuses by function and amperage rating (15, 20, 25 or 30 amp fuses).
Why did my radio stopped working?
