Under the hood fuse box, radio/audio has a 15a fuse, I went to change it - as the radio does not work in the car, however as soon as I put in a new fuse it sparked and blew...what could be causing this?

check the fuse in the dash for the 'radio/audio' 15A and under the hood its the 'clock' 10A fuse

The fuse box is under the hood it is fuse number 20 a Light blue 15 amp is the radio fuse.

1.Answer It is a 15A fuse (#24), located in the instrument panel fuse box (behind the small fold out draw on lower the left side of dash board. Left of the steering wheel). It is the far right fuse on the middle row.

2. I had the same problem when my dome light went off. When I pulled its blown fuse, the radio went out. The radio fuse was fine, but when I replaced the dome light fuse, the radio came back on again. The dome light fuse is a 20A in the fuse box under the hood next to the battery.

3.there is on fuse in the back of the radio itself

Hi i had sa me issue jump started my kia rio radio display was blank. To fix open your fusebox inside the car Pull out both audio fuses your fuse puller should be in the fuse box under the hood. Yes you have two fuse boxes. One inside you car and one under the hood with your engine. wait few minutes say five... Put the fuse back in. Btw its not neccesary to pull the fuse all the way out. Your radio should show cde error... Now you will need to put in your four digit pin...gluck thanks to the guy on the internet who said pull out the memory fuse... Not that i understood till now.

It is a blown fuse. The fuse box is located under the hood-I believe it is the no. 6 fuse (15A) There should be an extra fuse attached to the back of the fuse box cover along with the fuse puller. The location of the radio fuse is also shown.

06 Solara fuse box under driver side dash, left of brake pedal. Pop fuse cover off. CIG is for cigar lighter. 15A rating. Get the fuse puller from the big fuse box under the car's hood, it is white plastic. Pull out bad 15A blue fuse, replace with new one. For a quick fix, use 15A spare from the big fuse box. Replace asap.

please rate highly if this helps.

Did you see the Small Black Squares inside the Fuse Relay Box under the Hood? These are Relays. There should be a Relay that says "Illumination" OR "Lights" around this area. Change this Relay and it should be ok. They just Cost a Couple of Bucks. Please Rate my Response, I need all the Help that I can get ! Thanks!

chk. headlight switch, my guess thats what it is.
