radio and clock wont work in s14

[candyman4ufoos]

i was ridin in my car the other night with the radio cranked and all of a sudden the radio and clock went out i dont have a light but im sure it would have went out too but i've tried the audio fuse and it didnt work have any suggestions?

check the voltage at the fuse. Make sure there is juice there. The clock and radio are probably connected to a common power source at some point. That's probably a good place to start looking for the problem. Check all other functions and see if there is anything else that does not work as well. Check your fusible links as well.

ok thanks for the suggestions ill go try that out tomorrow

they are connected. when i put in a new head unit i didnt unhook the battery and it blew the audio fuse which controlled the clock

[candyman4ufoos]

OK IM A NOOB I NEED TO know step by step how to check the fusible links and check the vlotage and if thats it how do you fix this problem

next to where ur left foot goes while driving is a cover for the fuse panel. open that and pull the fuses out one at a time with the lil pliers on the cover. look at the middle of the fuse in the colored part. there will be a peice of thin curved metal connecting the two sides. if this peice is broken that fuse blew so replace it with the same kind of fuse. there is also a fuse box int he engine compartment but i doubt ur problem leads to there.

so ur sayin the s 14 has 2 fuse boxes cuz i always thought that little thing was jus a place to put ur foot ok ima chek it out thanx for ur help

Maybe someone can help me with a similar problem. My "room lamp" fuse is blown. My dome light doesn't come on, my radio doesn't work, clock, and seatbelts don't work. But the seatbelts/clock work only when the car is on. I've replaced the fuse, but it just blows again. There is power runnin to my radio (checked w/voltmeter) but i think it's broken now. Is there a relay of some sort i might need to replace, since the fuse it just blowing repeatedly?

its not actually where u put ur foot on the foot rest. its right next to that, u'll see a cover.

woot- u prob have somethin drawin too much voltage i guess. im not a big electrical guy

Disconnect every thing on the circuit you can get your hands on easily. Stick a fuse in if it dont blow imediatly start pluging things in and moniter the fuse when it blows you found what circuit is popin the fuse.

candy you could go down to the local parts store and pick up a test light for 5 bucks and test the fuses by probing the back sides of the fuses with the ignition on. probe both side of the fuse where the metal tab is exposed that will tell you the fuse is not blown if the light comes on on both sides of the fuse. all but 1 fuse should light up with the ignition switch in the on position. do the same under the hood.
