Radio died

Postby Jeo » Sat Jul 05, 2008 2:50 pm

Went to drive home from work last night and my radio wouldn't turn on. I wasn't too worried about it at the time as I figured I'd just blown a fuse or something.

Got up today to have a play with it and I'm well and truly stumped. The fuse is not blown and my AF Ratio gauge, which takes its power from the cigarette lighter, still works so the circuit still has power. Poking around with a multi meter tells me that the accessory wire running to the radio is still fine, but the constant 12v delivers nothing. Interior lights also have no power. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance, Joe

Probably a different fuse. Quite often there is a blown fuse that is the culprit but you couldn't tell by looking at it.

Check the 'room' fuse I think it's called. The interior light and radio are on the same fuse.
