As I plugged my Fm modulator into my 12 v source today my radio went dead. I checked the radio fuse and it is intact. I switched it just in case and it is still dead. The flashing red "don't steal me" light is still on, but the radio wont come on. Any Ideas? I was going to look at the back of the 12 v source tomorrow but don't really think that will help. Also I have the extended warranty, will Honda fix this?

 

The radio runs off 2 different fuses. Check the one that the accessory plug is tied to. It also has some radio function.

 

your Fm modulator has drawn too much current than the ACC socket is rated for and blown the fuse.

 

Thanks guys. everything works again, but now i'm confused. The Fm modulator had a 5 amp fuse. How did that not blow before the honda 10 amp fuse? Anyways, Thanks guys!

 

The Radio and ACC socket combined current draw was greater than 10A. Where you using any other 12V Accesory as well as the FM modulator?
