Help Again

[Schrade]

You replaced the fuse, and it hasn't blown ... yet?

Or, if is has blown since replacement, what happened to cause it to blow?

Did you turn something on? Or did it go Closed Loop? Warmed up motor?

If it does blow, then right away, get the multimeter on the (+) socket of the fuse Courtesy, and ground the (-) probe on a door bolt or something, and see how many Amps are reading on the multimeter. THen ground the (-) in the fuse (-) C fuse socket, and see how many Amps are THERE.

Does NOt Blow Rightaway

JUstTurned ONRadio Fuse Blue

[Schrade]

Blue fuses are 15 Amp; I think that's the wrong fuse, for starters here...

ed.:
Oops - I was thinking of color-coding of fuses - not a fuse that blew.

Try it again, and see if the fuse blows RIGHT AWAY, when you turn the radio on. And find out the correct fuse color - I think it's Red 10 Amp???

Post results, then we'll go from there. And can you get on a standard keyboard?

You may think it unnecessary but here is an example where
we have to spend time clarifying.
Did you mean the color "Blue" or "blew" as in blew the fuse ?
Why that capital letters on all words?
Why no use of period at the end of a sentence?
Why are the words being run together leaving the
reader to try and figure out where one word ends
and another begins?

Please work with us. We're trying to help.

I can take a few guesses here.
If the fuse "blew" when you turned the radio on
then that's obviously where to start. And you're
lucky if it blows quickly. It'll be easier to find the issue.

We have to isolate whether the fault is with the radio and
control head or the amps/speaker assemblies.

Disconnect all four amp/speaker assemblies (each corner)
Insert new "blue fuse" (blue is 15A)
then turn on the radio.
Does the fuse blow out again?

sorry my computer skills are bad thanks anyway

The radio control head and the radio receiver are on a different circuit ( 10amp.). The problem as suggested by Scottfab has to be related to the radio amplifier relay/ speaker amps. since the radio amp. relay circuit is the only radio related component on this fuse.

Relay is behind Instrument Panel.

Carmine, Geezer makes a good point.
Don't pull the amp/speaker assemblies
just yet.
I missed that the CTSY 15A fuse powers
a relay not the amps. I can't see the relay
being at fault.

Put a new fuse in.
Do not turn on the radio.
Check that all of these lights work ok.
Glove box
Center console
Left door
Right door
Left foot well
Right foot well.

All OK?

Now your going to have to disconnect the power to the antenna.
Either get under the left rear and do it or
get behind the radio and do it.

No need to apologize about computer skills there Carmine. 15 years ago, no-one had computer skills, good, OR BAD, save a few...

AND, that can be looked upon as a good thing. A 98-lb weakling goes to 115 lbs FAST, UNlike a 240 lb rock-of-a-man, who needs 7-8 weeks of HARD training to go up the same amount.

And like scottfab said, we're here to help. Why? Because when we teach, WE ALSO LEARN. AND THINK. So everyone comes up the better - you, me, Fido, everyone.

Why that capital letters on all words?

He's using capital letters on all words, because his smart device is set to use UPPER CASE for ALL FONT. His smart device is hard to read, so it's set for ALL CAPS, and forum software reduces it to first letter only, each word, in CAP font only.

If you can't take 3 steps without thinking about checking the device, you have to realize that it's an addiction. It's no way to pace your life, with your head looking down at your right hand for life. Trust me, it's BAD for the brain, in more ways than you can imagine.

So anyway here Carmine, where are you on the headlight? Like I said, I have a step-by-step written out on dis-assembly... And since that was the first problem, maybe start there.

Where are you in it?

He disappeared.

Think he's pissed since we told him he had to post better to understand...
