No , no fuse just for the lights ! There is one fuse for the radio and if it plays , the fuse is good ! The LED display is bad or a solder joint cracked inside the radio ,maybe ! Probably need a new radio !
Does it play? If so, you have a burned-out light bulb in the radio. You'll have to remove the radio from the dash to replace the bulb. (That's assuming it doesn't use an LED.)
If the radio does not play at all, either it isn't getting power or the radio has failed. To check if it's a power issue, first check for a blown fuse and replace if necessary. If the fuse is OK, reach behind the radio to make sure the power cable is plugged in securely. If neither of these work, you're going to need a new radio. They're not worth repairing. And don't go to the dealer -- OEM radios are very expensive and not all that good. Go to a place that sells and installs name-brand radios. You'll get something twice as good for half the price.
The least costly problem would be the radio fuse located in your Tracker fuse box/block. You can see a visual of the fuse box location in your owners manual. Next would be someone has switched out the radio at some time and did not reconnect the power line. As the radio does not light up at all, this is a power radio problem...if your radio light up but does not play, it could be your antennae is not plugged in to the back of your radio. If you have to remove the radio, there are many good radio shops that should test your radio for power, for free...Best Buy is usually helpful. Hope this helps.
Easy way. With a test light connected to ground ( a test light is a tool that looks like a ice pick with a clear handle with a bulb inside, and a wire coming out the end with a clip on it) Connect the clip on the light to a metal ground under the dash and with the fuse panel where you can see it, touch the pointer to each side of the back of the fuses, with the key on. The light should lght on both sides of a good fuse. If a fuse lights the light on one side and not the other it's blown. For the radio to work three fuses all need to be good as theirs all the time power and key on power and lighting as the dash lights power. The cigar fuse many times provides the all the time power, But if it's blown the radio won't play. Pull one fuse at a time and look at them to see if the bar inside the fuse is good ( they can look good and be bad) back to the test light meathod, Look the fuses up in the owers manul and it'll tell you the location of the fuse but the radio fuse can be good and the radio strill not work as the cigar fuse has to be good too, There;s another fuse panel under the hood that has the main fuses near the battery, Again the test light is fastest and easiest as any fuse blown even though it's not the radio fuse can make the radio not play. Aftermarket radios can have inline fuses instlled by the radio installer and some have fuses right on the back of the radio.
You can check the fuses but if all other dash lights work and radio plays then i would say its time to replace radio, there no bulb to change in radio, this is a digtal display and it went bad,
I know this is an old thread, but my 2006 325i Nav screen went bank also, but the radio still played. I noticed the glove box light and trunk light did not turn on also. I was told from mechanics is was probably a CID module for $2200, even though I mentioned the glove box and trunk light light were out and specifically inquired about a fuse. The mechanics never checked the fuses, because I checked my fuses in the glove box and found the fuse 61 marked with a BMW symbol that looks like light bulb was blown. The Nav screen started back up once the fuse was changed.
check fuse block for shorts, melting discoloring,on back side of fuse panel around starter relay. loose connection causes fuse block to over heat will need to be replaced.hope this helps.
