INfinity speakers make loud bumping and static noise when radio fuse is plugged in

I GUESS that the speakers are driven by an after market amplifier. An amplifier needs to be connected to a power source that is only on when the radio is on, through a relay.

So I GUESS that:

1. The wiring is incorrect. Or
2. If is has a relay, the relay is stuck.

The fuse might be built into the cable to the lighterand/or radio. It's called "fusable link", this type of fuse looks like a cable. Or another type of fusable link might be in the fuse box under the hood near the firewall.

are all the radio function dead.?????
what are they, radio, AM and FM dead, cassette, CD,?
if only the radio is dead. (static) then the antenna is bad or its lead in coax wire is bad. or fell off. etc.
the amp (audio is good) as you heard the static.
you can unplug the antenna, wire, from radio and plug in any
lenght of wire to test the radio, any radio can be bench tested this way. and is in any shop.

its very rare today for any head end radio unit to be only a radio.
so do the other features (other audio sources work?) try them.
if they work then the antenna is bad.

After I read this whole post and the solution by other guy. I came to my own conclusion is that you may have an exposed wiring that causes the static sound out of speakers. Try to look for bare wiring that may have touch each other as well as touching the metal of the vehicle. Try to disconnect the wires at the speaker, and see if it works. If it does works, then you know that you have wiring issue there.

Sounds like it's coming through your speakers
. Not sure why, had it on a Chevy and it was caused by magnates from the ignition. Hope this helps.

take out the speaker in question and test it.
a 9v battery is good enough to 'burp' it.
if it makes a scratchy noise when you put power to it then you have a short in the voice coil.
Burping a speaker is just a short power up. Don't hold power to it.
Tap it on and off like a music note measure.

on the eclipse the infinity sound system has a factory amp most likely your factory amp has water damage

This is very common to occur when these vehicles have water leaks.
There is an amplifier located underneath the passenger seat which has gotten wet and shorted out.

The amplifier will need to be replaced to restore audio.

remove coins from the cigarette lighter or unplug it. Never put a bigger fuse in than what it calls for tha is a BIG mistake.

I replaced the amplifier that was mounted under the passenger seat it had gotten wet after the convertible top failed during rain storm
