Where are the fuses on a Bose radio?

Note that there are two 30 Amp fuses for the AMP (the radio audio amplifier), one for the active system, where the power amplifier is behind the seats, and a separate one for the Bose system, which powers the relays that switch power to the speakers, which have the power amplifiers built into the Bose speakers on the doors.

What to do when your car radio stops working?

If you find a blown fuse, try replacing it and then driving around for a while to see if it blows again. If it does, then you have a short somewhere that’s probably going to be a little more difficult to fix.

What to do when your car stereo fuse blows?

When your stereo fuse gets blown, you need to start with something simple and obvious. You need to first check the amperage rating of the circuit for your car stereo. In this case, you could also go through the manual of the vehicle that contains the complete information regarding the amperage rating with a proper diagram.

Where are the radio fuses on a 2002 Cadillac?

I don’t have a 2002 FSM but I believe that your radio system is similar to the Bose system for the 1997 model year, but with satellite radio capability. There are two fuses in the trunk compartment fuse block: the RADIO/PHONE fuse (10 Amp) is for the integrated radio chassis (IRC), which is in the dashboard.

What happens when a car radio fuse is blown?

In the case of your car radio fuse, it is designed to sacrifice itself to prevent a dangerous amount of current from flowing through your car radio and the associated circuit. If your radio is dead due to a botched jump start or charge, and you’re lucky, then you may find that your car radio fuse is blown.

What happens if you have a bad fuse?

If the fuse is bad, upon retrieval and inspection the wire inside of the fuse will broken, burnt, or otherwise disconnected. A blown fuse will have to be replaced with a new one in order to restore function to the circuit. A blown fuse should also be investigated to determine what caused the fuse to blow in the first place.

Why does my car radio stop working after a jump start?

For instance, if your radio stopped working after a botched jump start, the radio—and other delicate electronics—could have been fried. If you’re lucky, it might just be a fuse, and if you’re not, then this will just have to serve as a lesson as to how important it is to hook up jumper cables and battery chargers correctly.

Why does my amplifier keep blowing a fuse?

You need to look for any bare wire while insulation and trim it back so that insulation could be done properly without causing continuous blowing of stereo fuses. In other common cases, the wire to the battery is grounding that blows a fuse due to a hot connection before ruining the amplifier.
