my boys 03 type s keeps blowing the radio fuse as soon as he put the code in....what can it be??????? everything is stock.....

 

put in a bigger fuse until it stops blowing


my guess, check the wires behind the radio. and if thats all good, he needs a new radio.

 

Are you certain you replaced the fuse with the correct amperage rating?

 

yup....he hit a pot hole about a week ago and it stopped working....

 

then something had to get dislodged from the pothole (damn, must have been a big hole, check your alignment) and its shorting something out. you could try to remove it and take it apart, but your better off just getting an after market head unit. these stock ones dont hold up for crap.

 

really he didnt want to get a new one....he likes the look and the sound of the stock one...

 

I plugged my smartphone car charger into the 12 volt adapter and all of a sudden my radio stopped working. The adapters stopped working as well. I have looked at every possible fuse box a couple of times and still cannot locate the fuse that needs to be replaced.
Can anyone please tell me where the fuse for the radio/12 volt charger is located and how I can determine if it is actually blown or if there's another problem.
ANY 1 PLEASE HELP ME AND TELL ME WHERE THE FUSE PLACE IS FOR THE RADIO ITS A 2003 ACURA TL.......

 

it was a dime stuck in the lighter socket.....fixed..

 

glad you figured it out. I was going to recommend checking for the same. Its actually quite common.

 

so u are sure there is no problem wit da fuse

 

with the fuse... fuses either are open or not, no in between.

 

If there was a coin in there shorting it out blowing the fuse. Pull the coin out, replace the fuse and every thing should be operating as it should. Fuses are either working or blown, it cant be both.

 

is the dime thing really that common... depressing lol

 

thats what they said at the dealer.....before my boy came to my house he called and asked way the radio keeps blowing a fuse and they told him to check the cigarette lighter to see if there was any coins in it and there was.....

 

Its very common.

 

Thank you for your info. Blew av whole box before i saw your post
