So my 99 Acura TL rolled over 100k miles yesterday and as fate or murphys law would have it my radio died almost immediately . After reading some posts I checked the fuse and sure enough it was blown. I promptly replaced it with a fuse from my local AutoZone and it too immediately was blown. Do I have a short somewhere or is the radio just crapped out and blowing the fuses? I would like to change the radio out with the 02 6 disc version (and now is a good reason to do so) but I want to make sure this isn't something simple.

 

Was anything electrical recently done to the car that might cause a fuse to blow? It connects to the CIG ACC outlets as well for that fuse I believe.

 

double check the aux power outlet to make sure a dime or something hasnt fallen in it causing it to short out. happened to me

 

I'm happy to say this problem has a happy ending. My son had been playing in the car and slipped a few pennies into the cigarette lighter which is on the same circuit thus causing the short. Too damn funny . All is well now. Thanks guys.

 

 

i AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CANT SEEM TO FIND ANSWER-help

hahaha that happened to me too...a dime was lodged in there and whenever i went to charge my phone the radio would die and i could'nt figure it out for 2 dayss
