Do you know WHY the main blew? Reversed polarity?

bumps deleted.. all bumps will be deleted. Why do you think your question is more important than anyone else???

And multiple bumps in less than a couple hours???

Pretty damm insulting.

And have you even checked the fuse on the back of the radio???

I checked the fuse on the back of the radio and also at the fusebox. I don't think my problem is more important than anyone elses, but worthless posts tend to get answered the fastest. Did you read my post? The radios fuse and fuse at the fusebox are good.

Ah yeah.. right...

Anyway how did you check the fuses at the fuse box and the radio??? by sight or the right way with a multi-meter???

There should be a radio fuse at the fuse box, there should be a room fuse at the fuse box.

If both those are good (by testing with a multi meter, not just by looking), then you need to check the factory blue/white and blue/yellow at the back of the radio. If they are good, then you need to check the wires as they enter the radio, Normally those should be Red for switched and Yellow for constant 12 volts.

If the wires do not have power, you need to go back to the fuse box, and check to see that the room fuse and radio fuses have power on BOTH SIDES of the TABs on the tops of the fuse.

If they do not have power then check the 60 amp fuse at the underhood fuse box.

and bumps will be deleted... like it or not, so don't bump and **** all the mods and admins off, so they don;t want to help you.
