Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Blew my radio HELP!

I have an aftermarket Sony head unit and i was instaling a new din. i didnt even have the keys in and the wires arent rapped (stupid me) and the red one hit the case, pop and i was like fuck, i hope that wasnt what i think it was... i turned the key to acc and nothing, goddamn it i blew my 300 radio, i hope best buy will repair it, i have the four year replacement, but its really close to the end of the warnenty...if any one else can help me reply...plus now my clock doesnt work either, however when i turned my key the first 20 times it worked fine, but the last 3 times it didnt, so im freaking they want 224 for a new clock, ya right!

check harness

doh!

ALWAYS DICONNECT THE BATTERY!!!! anyways..hope you get it figured out.

i think it might be the fuses, how can i change out that one, are there any extras in the car, like in the glove box, or hidden somewhere else?

Try autozone... Fuses seem more logical than frying the deck. Check the fuse block in the car and the fuse on the back of the deck , and you should use butt crimps to hold the wiring together.

When my ex and I were fighting, I was installing a system in his car for his birthday..and I he started yelling at me so I purposly shorted out pretty much every fuse in his car. Including the one behind the CD player. So check that one, normally that blows in order to protect it.

hahaha, thats pretty funny.

I'm guessin its just a fuse...if not...best buy will cover that

I swaped out the fuse and the radio seems to get power, however the screen doesnt work. nor does the clock, which fuse if for the clock ( i cant comrehend the short notes in the fuse compartment) the head unit, will take/eject cassetts, and reset when i press reset, but the display doesnt work, usually we have a problem with the termanals, its happend before...any ideas?

Goto page 2, fuse #20 is the clock, dome ... if you blew this fuse you need to go to the dealer and buy a $5.00 fuse from them.

I thought it would be the dome, but i checked that fuse, its solid, plus the dome works...what else could it be

If that green clock doesn't work that is the only fuse it will be on, are you sure all four fuses were ok ?

Check the connector on the back of the clock as well, see if it's pushed in all the way.

Which four are you talking about, and yes it is pushed all the way in, i havnt had to remove it, i just slid it ontop of the driverside dash over the gauges. this sucks so much, no radio

fuse #20 in the passenger side fuse box is a special mutli-fuse which contains four individual fuses within one housing. It is a special type of fuse and can only be purchase from a toyota dealership.


Fuses 19 - 22 are all multi-fuses

I check 20 its fine, im going to check 19-22 if one of those is blow, could that be the problem?

Maybe 22, but other than that I'm lost ... Good Luck finding your problem.

i tried all that, still nothing on the screen, nor clock, anywhere i can take this to be checked out?
