No, the size of the fuse only protects the stereo against a dead short.If your battery goes dead and the connections are all good ,in all probability the problem is in your alternator. A mechanic with a tester can check that out for very little cost.

SOURCE: Radio fuses

THE RADIO SHOULD HAVE TWO FUSES CHECK THE FUSE FOR THE TURN ON CIRCUIT. ALSO CHECK THE FUSES WITH A TEST LIGHT TO MAKE SURE ITS POWER TO THE FUSE ITSELF

SOURCE: car blows starter fuse after hitting bump in road

check out the wiring. The bump may have made some connections loos or may have shaken up the wires and wires that are exposed may have hit each other or the metal part of the car which caused a short and in turn caused a fuse to blow.

It may be possible that your alternator is bad and discharged your brand new battery. Take both the battery and the alternator to your local parts store and have both checked.

Where is the starter fuse located

Where is the starter fuse in a Kia Forte 2011. Car gets power but doesn’t turn over. Car initially died while driving on the freeway thought it could be the alternator and or battery. Put in new battery to boot cause it’s old but now it doesn’t turn over so I want to try the fuses before I move on to replacing expensive items.

Radio not working

It is the fuse inside that yellow fuse holder on the lower left side that is bad. Not the one that says audio that is the problem you can not see the fuse but it is in that yellow holder.

sounds like a bad ground somewhere. that can burn out power wires due to a high amp draw and cause the battery not to charge. try hooking up the negitive cable directly to the engine to jumpstart it. if that works and the car dies as soon as you disconnect the cables a bad ground is very likely. and I have noticed the new gms are very weak in the charging/battery department. They are using very cheep batterys ,die very easy. also check fuses.
