I was playing around with my headunit and accidentally shorted it out. :rolleyes: I'm taking power off of the factory headunit wiring harness. There is a +12V (switched via ignition), and a normal +12V lead. It is the normal 12V lead that has no power. This is power for both the radio and the overhead lights.

I can't seem to find any bad fuses anywhere, and I was wondering if there was a fusable link on this wire. Which fuse is it, and is there a fusable link as well? If there is where is it?

Thanks for any help!
 
did you check the fuses inside the car? down near the pedals? When all my interrior lights and radio went... it was some crazy fuse in there... I'd check all of them...

Yup, checked all those fuses down there with a 12v test light. All of them are working. Do you remember which fuse it was in there?
 
some headunits have fuses in the back of them. Did you check in the back of it? I'm sure you checked under the hood right?
 
if the interior lights dont work then it could very possible be the courtesy fuse. i think the power for key on is the only wire that is fused as "radio" in the fuse box.
