I did a search and came up empty...here's my problem:
1) Driving home, radio's on, suddenly no power to radio. No warnings, no change in volume, no static, no nothing. Playing music then silence. That's fine, I think, it's likely just the fuse and I can just spend a little time listening to the pleasing sounds of my new exhaust...
2) Arrived at the grocery store (wife phoned on the way, could I pick up some wine? she asked) and checked at the left footwell fuse box. Sure enough the 10amp radio fuse was blown.
3) Stuck the 15 amp spare fuse in. For some reason my 10 amp spare was gone. Whatever. Surely this will suffice.
4) Turned the key and the fuse popped immediately. There was even a small flash of light. Crap.
5) Ok. Ok. It's probably because I currently have the footwell speaker assembly out of the car (I'm exchanging the core...it's been out for almost a week). There's probably something in the footwell where the speaker used to be. Something probably touching something else and shorting something out...or something.
6) I get home, do a detailed check in the passenger footwell. All the various
plugs are floating in the breeze. Nothing's touching anything. Nothing looks amiss.
7) I try again. Pop.
So that's where I am. I love the sound of my engine and exhaust and, oh, man, my intake, but I also like having my radio available if need be.
Any help is appreciated.
