car stereo wont power. might be blown fuse. HELP
Hi there. I bought a sony explode car stereo. ANyways theres this
neighbor who said he'd install it for cheap. it's a mercury sable 1990 car. Since the wires of the car didnt match the wires of the stereo,he decided to use a battery to touch the wires of the car to see which ones are for the speakers. He uses a AA battery and said when he touches the wires,the speakers make a pop sound and he would know which wire was what. He touched the battery to the ground wire,and it made a spark. Now I have a clock on the dash,it lights up but it doesnt show the time, the inside lights dont turn on anymore,and now the stereo wont power up when its connected. the guy told me he doesnt know whats wrong and it could be a fuse but he doesnt know. i called a few car repairs shops to ask whats wrong,and they just told me to bring it in and i would have to pay to have them "look at it". this is ridiculous,no one will give me information. the reason why i bought it for a low price was because i didnt have lots of money,now i dont want to pay a whole bunch more. please help me,thank you all. |

It's a blown fuse. check the fuse for the dome light. there may also be
another fuse box under the hood. The installer was doing the right thing by using a AA battery to check for speaker wires. He just got the constant power and the ground wire and tried to "POP" them. A decent installer will have a good idea what the speaker wires are and not do that. here are the most common colors in fords. use this as a guide, fords use many different color codes.
