radio fuse keeps blowing

Hey all,

Lately, I cannot play my radio for more then a couple of hours before the fuse will pop. This morning on my way to work, my cell phone was resting in the compartment under the coin tray and I took a turn that caused the phone to hit (gently) the coin tray. Next thing, pow, no more tunes. I have replaced 2 fuses in the last week and am getting tired of reprogramming my presets over and over.
Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening.

Thanks a bunch,
Axe

Joseph,
I just spent a few minutes and figured out my problem. It seems that a dime was lodged near the power adaptor and that was shorting the circuit popping the fuse. At least this was an easy fix. As for the right fuse to replace, it is in the owners manual but in case you dont have one here are the instructions:

Remove the fuse panel next to the glove compartment.
The fuse for the radio is the top 20A fuse. There are 2 columns and I cant remember which side it is but look for the 20A. I remember that there is a 7.5A fuse 3 down from the column that you replace for the radio if that makes any sense

Good luck getting it fixed. I am glad for me that it was easy and hopefully it will be the same for you.

Best,

Axe
