What happens when a car radio fuse is blown?
In the case of your car radio fuse, it is designed to sacrifice itself to prevent a dangerous amount of current from flowing through your car radio and the associated circuit. If your radio is dead due to a botched jump start or charge, and you’re lucky, then you may find that your car radio fuse is blown.
What to do if your radio wont turn on?
Take some small gauge wire directly to the battery terminals, and connect to the correct pins on your radio harness/plug (yellow for power, black for ground). See if it even turns on with direct power. Rule out the HU itself first. EDIT, just read the above post.

Why does my radio not work in my car?
For instance, if your radio turns on and displays a station, but no sound comes out of the speakers, then it’s probably an issue with the speakers or the wiring or even the antenna. In that same vein, a car stereo with a non-functioning radio may be tracked down to an antenna problem if other audio sources, like the CD player, work just fine.
What to do if your Mercedes Benz Radio is not working?
For you to do that, you will need to remove the fuses for the CD Changer, COMAND/ NAV / DVD Player / Radio, Audio Gateway AGW, and the Voice Unit if it is equipped with one, for at least 10 minutes. Doing a soft reset for these systems will force the head unit to rest. This normally restores the systems to working order.

Why does my focus radio not turn on?
I know this is an old thread but hopefully my information can still help someone. After some extensive research online, the problem with the 2012 Focus radio not turning on (frozen blue squares) is the CD player. When you turn the radio on, it tries to initialize the CD player, when it cannot, it freezes up.
How can I tell if my fuses are still working?
The #12 fuse location is central to the circuit, so finding out if power is present there will tell us which way to go. Here are the other circuits the fuse feeds… just in case one or two may still operate. Check a few of these other systems to see if they operate or if it’s isolated to the radio and dome lamps.

Why does the radio signal not go through to the speakers?
That is why the radio signal does not go through to the speakers. The reverse also might be happening, if your battery is low, the alternator will definitely supply low and fluctuating power which will activate the amplifier’s protection mode.
How can I tell if my car radio is working?
Start with testing the ground wire (black), accessory wire (red) and constant (yellow). If the wiring is good, then the voltmeter should read 12 volts or the voltage equal to your source. If you realize that there are disparities, it will be good to check with your car’s wiring diagram.
What to do when your radio won’t work?
You can use a coat hanger, rip off to equal size pieces of metal and stick each end into the holes to the right and left of your unit.

Why is my JB fuse not working properly?
It also shows a splice internal to the JB that splits power to the various places it serves, so with the entire M1 circuit deader-n-a-doornail, the problem appears to be within the JB itself. Pull that #12 fuse out to check the terminals for burning or damage.
What to do if your radio has no power?
Radio, clock, power mirrors, and all 3 power outlets not working. Checked all fuses under dash and both compartments under hood-all are good. Checked for short with milliamp tester at battery-good also. Removed access panels around steering wheel and near under-dash fuse panel, looking for hidden fuses that may have blown-nothing.
Where are the fuses located on a car?
Look under the panel at the far left end of the dash… The fuse is held inside a black colored fuse holder with tabs to make it easier to pull out of the block. Its purpose is to remove the slight electrical draws that some circuits have even with the key off, like radio (keeps time).
