MY RADIO WORKED ONE DAY, THE NEXT IT DIDN'T. THE CLOCK BLINKED...WE CHECKED THE FUSES, ALL LOOKED OKAY. ANY ADVICE

hi margie, your fault lies with the power line feeding both your clock and car radio units. check the fuse of the line feeding your radio/clock section. the fuse box should have the areas clearly marked. also check if the ground connection to radio/clock is not diconnected sumhow. if this advice does not help then it wub advisable for you to consult with nearest auto-elecrician. cheers.

On the components, you might try a separate ground. See if that helps? Check the battery negative connections. I've seen this even on newer vehicle where instrument cluster or whatever would dim a little when you turn on headlamps. I think it's a ground issue? Just my opinion.
On any component that doesn't work, check voltage and ground, you could try a redundant ground.

You could have a short some where in the wiring. If its an aftermarket radio see if you can pull it out and check to be sure all wires are properly done.

If its a stock radio then check the fuse panel!

There is an in line fuse behind the radio also a small fuse in the radio. Get the local mechanic to pop the radio out as you need a tool

check connections the sos means system failure,grounds,battery voltage

You have 2 fuses/power wires for that, 1 will be constant power and other will be when key turned on.

no at all it is a very small problem i think you will find taht the lighter also didnt work you have to change a fuse see your fuse box in the hood and see where is the radio or clock anything that can mate with one of the problem and you will find spare fuses in this box see also fuses in car manual and change it but see the no. of the fuse and everthing will be normal

Try this, put the key in the ignition and let it be on the first turn right marked "ACC" or you can turn off the stereo and you will notice that only the Digital Clock screen will show. Turn the Volume/Audio/Sel knob and press on the "DISP" button simultaneously for about 4 seconds then release the "DISP" button. The digital clock will start blinking, and then use the Tune/Seek arrows pointing up and down to change the time. If the hour digit is blinking change the hour and after you have changed it press "DISP" then the minute digit will start to blink change it using the arrows, when you are done press "DISP" again or leave the clock for between 4 to 8 seconds the clock will start working normally.

I hope this works for you.

Good luck!

Apart from the fuse cutting off you might have had some wires cut off too. Have an expert take a look at it for you.

I experienced this before.

Good luck.

Please rate this.

Try checking the RDO/IP IGN fuse in the fusebox in the engine compartment, ours was blown
