my radio does not turn on... whats going on?


Im thinking its a blown fuse, but what fuse goes to the radio?

***Recently installed a STS so not sure if I sweated or something on the silver box under the E-brake that looks like alot of wires goes to the radio from.

Update: figured out where the radio fuse was hidden. Radio fuse was good so a blown fuse is not the issue. I'm assuming there is a loose connection amongst the wires... reasons to believe this are a) a few time the car has gone dead after being in accessory for 5 mins. B) the battery seems to drain really quickly. Need some good opinions on this...

I'm not sure about the radio issue.
At one point my battery kept dying overnight. They blamed it on my accessories that I keep plugged in sometimes. That wasn't the case because the same ones are plugged in now and I never have a problem.
It's kind of hard to say what the cause was as they replaced two things at the same time which did fix it.
They replaced the battery and the BCM. (body control module but you probably knew that)
I don't remember exactly but it was something about the BCM turns off after 45 minutes of inactivity but mine wasn't ever shutting off.

 

hey... That sounds like my issue as well. My car dies very quickly. I went to a drive in movie and the car was dead after 2 hours... I was parked outside a gamestop waiting for a midnight release, the car was off and in accessory mode for 15 minutes, car was completely dead... had to get my dad to drive to jump start the car.

one winter I didnt drive the car for 3 days, tried to start it on the third day, the car was dead.


Oh and my radio just kicked back on about 20 minutes into my drive to work.... really wierd. Im still bringing the car in. Anyone else notice this excessive power consumption thing in our cars?
