radio and clock

Post by marshmallow15 »

hey guys. while driving, i turned off my radio and then a little while later, i noticed it won't turn back on and i also noticed that the clock has died out as well. all other electronics are working fine like ac and the turn signals and headlights and etc. anyone know what's goin on?

check your radio fuse in the interior fuse box. If not that.. check the btn in the hood fuse box.. if not that then you've shorted something... good luck

i'm not an expert on electronics so...<BR>which one is the fuse box and how can i check if i blew a fuse? it might be that because right now, my whole interior is stripped naked due to interior panels being painted. what about the fuse button in the hood? if i shorted something, can it be fixed?

the fuse box is in the drivers side kickpanel (bottom left). theres a black cover with the names and the amp ratings on each fuse. YOu need to find the radio fuse (bottom right area), pull it out with the puller thats in the cap to the fuse box, and check to see if the fuse is broken (silver bridge in the middle is damaged). If so, replace the fuse with one of the same ampage (color). If not that fuse, check under the hood. To the right of the engine there is a fuse box. Take off the panel and look for the fuse labelled "BTN". These fuses look different from the ones in the car. Pull the BTN fuse and again check for damage. If there's no damage to either fuse that you can see, take it to a shop. its possible you've shorted something out.

for some reason, my radio fuse keeps blowing out...but i found the problem. if i use a 15 fuse from my power locks to put in the radio clip, will it be ok since i have a 92 rs with no power locks?
