Car radio

[Mest30]

As some of you may know, my car radio is currently not working. It's a stock unit. I've never tried to diagnose the problem but I'm going to give it a shot now. Does anyone know where the fuse is for the radio? Thanks in advance. Oh, and if you have other suggestions, let me know.

Does the radio not work at all or just the FM doesn't work.

BTW.... the fuse for the radio is in the fuse box to the left of the steering wheel, under the dash. The owners manual has all the information you need.

Nothing works. It doesn't turn on.

Probably a blown fuse.

Have you had any work done to it recently?

I just listed one in the classifieds.

Disclaimer: it stopped working four years ago and I never bothered to get it looked at. It happened on the way home from a vacation. Just stopped mid song and never turned back on. I used to have a system and that may have caused a blown fuse as I don't think the system was installed during the vacation but the power cord to the battery was as I just discovered a few months back that it was actually still a live wire.

Well I've had the car for seven years and only put 23k on it in that time with the majority of that coming in the first few years before I started taking a train to work.

The radio officially works now. The fuse was blown. Now I just need to figure out what's wrong with the ac.

Jesus man, it took 4 years to check for a blown fuse? Itll take atleast another 8 to check that your low on 134a....:p

It blows warm. When you first turn it on, it blows Luke warm with a very slight hint of cool but it turns hot very soon afterwards.

Put some Barry White in the CD player and she will warm up quicker, ;>}

Start with looking at the accumulator. Good to take a look at it from underneath when changing the car oil. It is the black cylinder on the passenger front side of the engine which corrodes from the bottom up do to salt and ****. If that is fine, then maybe a hose or the EATC is fubard.

Go here.... www.lmgtfy.com , and type in "car ac repair". A video will come up....:P

I bet the accumulator has rusted out. It's located between the battery and radiator. You need to replace it, get he system evacuated and recharged.

Thanks. Any idea of a price to do all that?
