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?

 

yes both fuses boxes have the diagram.. and yes its the fuse it might be listed as radio or cig lighter or interior or interior light fuse, i dont remember

 

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.

 

awesome, glad it was something simple

 

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.

 

those cigarette lighter air compressors are notorious for blowing fuses

 

yea, i'm thinking it was just the massive draw from the compressor

 

I apparently can't read. Skimmed right over the air compressor part. Whoops!

 

Yeah turns out the inline fuse in the compressor is 15A, car fuse is only 10A. I'm not going to use that compressor anymore.
