OEM radio won't turn on
This morning my OEM radio wouldn't come on. It's been working fine for as long as I can remember. The red secuirty light is still blinking but it won't power up. It will still eject and eat CD's. Yesterday I was using an air pump that plugs in to the cigarette lighter to fill the tires and I'm guessing it may have blown the fuse? All the other electronics work to my knowledge.
BTW I believe it's an 02/03 head unit in an 00 but I've never had issues before at all. If it's the fuse does anyone have the diagram for which fuse to check?
Help!

i thought the fuse 'door' lists the details of which fuse is which, i haven't looked at the fuses in the S though, isn't it near the battery under the hood? should have details written on top?

Turned out to be the acc fuse, 10A. Under the dash, left row (closest to the door) 5th from the top. Popped in a new fuse and all was well. Did not even need to put in the radio code and all my settings were still saved.

I would keep an eye on it. Fuses don't wear out and just pop. Something shorted. You may have a wire with a hole rubbed in the insulation and it just happened to touch metal that day.
