What causes a fuse to blow on a stereo?
Vibration can cause wiring to become loose. Tight working-space confines can create difficulty making connections in the first place. Turn the ignition key to the accessory setting and press the “Power” button a few times to verify the condition. Check that the stereo circuit fuse hasn’t blown.
How to troubleshoot a car stereo that will not power?
Take a close look and make sure no wires are loose entering the harness. Make sure the harnesses are plugged into the car stereo. Trace back wiring from the car stereo’s control head power harness to the fuse block and verify that the wiring is all intact. If you encounter a fuse along the red wire, replace it.
How do you replace a fuse on a car stereo?
There are usually spare fuses in the box, so you can replace the fuse with the same rated fuse. The size and color should match the existing fuse. Step 3 Remove the car stereo from its internationally standardized slot in the car’s dashboard known as a DIN — Deutsches Institut für Normung — slot.
Where is the reset button on my Sirius Radio?
Not from the radio, CD, navigation or call assist. I checked all the fuses but they were all good. Then I found the reset button on the front (next to the Sirius Radio Dog, top left), pushed it with the tip of a pen and it turned everything off…then reset. Then the audio was back!
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 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.
Why is my Fuse on my Intrepid not working?
Pull that #12 fuse out to check the terminals for burning or damage. You can have power on both sides of the fuse, yet not have it conduct power to the circuits if there’s a spread terminal contact on the circuit side of the connection (just had one on an Intrepid).
What causes a fuse to not appear blown?
Fuses can also fracture on the inside and not appear blown… because they’re not. Fractures can happen from years of use and the marginal heating they develop at each run cycle and not look bad at all. Was this answer helpful?
