Re: sterio wont turn on!

Is it a factory stereo? And yes, there are fuses...sometimes more than 1. Check on the side of the dash (have to open doors, it will have a fuse panel), the glove box, under the dash, under the hood....Most of the time the radio fuse is tied in with other accessories in the car such as interior lights/buzzer, horn, cig lighter-so if any of those dont work it is hopefully a fuse (easy way to figure it out!). If its not factory radio, there is usually a fuse on the back of the radio or in the wiring harness. The fuse is usually a 10 or 15 amp fuse. And also, if it is an aftermarket make sure to check your wiring, alot of times you may have to run a new ground wire.
