Most all aftermarket radios have their own fuse next to the wiring harness plug. Depending on the brand, it may only take a few minutes to pull the radio out of it's sleeve to check for the fuse. Usually, you can pop off the trim ring to see what you are working with.

Key fob will not work 2009 forester

I have a few trouble shooting tips for the problem with your Subaru Forester key fob. 1) Make sure you have the correct key fob part number. There are a couple different part numbers that are almost exactly the same. 2) Wipe the board The board inside your remote can get a lot more filthy than you think! When the board is dirty it can prohibit the contact to the circuit board when you push down on the button. Simply wiping the circuit board off can make your key fob like new again! 3) The old car battery reset trick I know this sounds absurd, but it works sometimes and is worth trying. If you exhausted all of the options above, disconnect bot terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why. If you do, please comment below to explain. 4) Not sure where you bought the new key fob from, but some of the suppliers on eBay can be knock off quality. Try sending the one you purchased back and order one from here: https://www.keylessentryremotefob.com/Subaru-Forester-Remotes-and-Keys-s/5381.htm

Sounds like you popped a belt. The belt turns the power steering and the alternator for charging.

Cause battery drain

If you have water in at least one cylinder, when you crank you are trying to compress water with your starter. ( liquid does not compress) You need to check for water in cylinders by checking spark plugs. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_f2436a37cbb50365

Sounds like a winding has gone down on the starter, and if the starter stops on that winding, just the solenoid clicks, when it does it tap the starter body a few times and try to start it again, it can just move the rotor enough to get it to start, but it will need a new starter

Sounds like flat tire but tire is not flat

I suspect that the tire is old and the steel belts are failing. Pull the wheel off and check the tire for cracks in the tread, any out of round or bulges. Get a new tire (or tires).
