Keys shorted out my radio

Heya,

I have a 89 firebird and i recently rested my keys on an exposed side view mirror toggle switch (paint shop lost it). The car was off at the time. There was a spark and when i turned on the car the radio was not working. I was wondering what i could do.

A little click happy are we? lol


Have you checked all your fuses? If they are all ok then its possible that you blew a capacitor inside the radio.

I was going to say fuses.

I know where the fuses are but i don't know what to be looking for :P. Aswell, the power unlock for the doors button doesn't work, but when i use my alarm remote to open the doors it works.

Thx for any suggestions!

If you have to take each fuse out and see it the metal parts inside are broke or not. You can also put a voltage meter on them to see if current is flowing through them...

Ok I'll try that, thx goldz28

Here is a picture showing the difference between a good fuse and a bad fuse.
