something in your wiring is grounding the system out causing the fuse to blow. The fuse protects the system so dont try to by pass the fuse box or youll blow something much more expensive. make sure all your wires are hooked up correctly and use electric tape on every exposed wire.
10 amp. Do not up size or downsize it, it will cause many problems. If it keeps blowing ask for a mini-circuit breaker that fits into the fuse holder. Any auto parts store will have one.
i replaced the head unit and the fuse stoped blowing.
Dash lights and tailights on many cars are fused together; someone tapped into this circuit for power to the radio and has caused a short. Unhook the power lead for the radio and splice it into its own circuit and the problem will go away. I hope this helps you. Mark
Hey LaMarcus==There is a short somewhere. You need to get a wiring diagram as I am quite sure the radis is supposed to be on a separate fuse not wired with the lights. GoodluckJoe
i believe that the radio is controlled by more than one fuse. The fuse marked radio may be good but the radio runs through other circuits as well. Check all fuses and quite possibly look for a shorted light( ie. under the hood, engine light) That was causing the problem on mine. It had shorted out and kept blowing the fuse everytime it was replaced. Fixed the short, replace the fuse and radio works fine now. Get a wiring schematic and follow the paths that connect to the radio, then check those components for shorts.
A radio fuse might keep blowing if the radio itself needs an inline fuse in a 1997 Crown Victoria. It is possible that the radio and interior lights are not grounded properly. Installing an inline fuse between the radio and the fuse box may solve the problem of the fuse blowing.
Where is the fuse panel that contains the radio fuse?
I am not for sure which is the radio fuse but 99% of the time it is a 15 amp fuse which is blue.
Did you cut factory plug for radio hook up?
short in the wiring behind your aftermarket radio
fuse keeps blowing
a short is a cut in a wire and it will probally be behind the fuse panel if its for your radio.
Obviously, if any fuse keeps blowing there is a serious fault in that circuit.Take it somewhere they can fix it.
A fuse that keeps blowing is an indication of a malfunctioning ignition. The ignition may be the culprit or the wiring leading to the ignition may be the problem.

2006 Ford Focus rear defroster keeps blowing the fuse immediately after replacement
In my 2001 CRV, the clock and radio fuse are the same. Funny, mine keeps blowing though... I keep taking it back to the dealer. They are trying to figure out why.
