Dear all: when I made a wrong connection with the battery, the radio stopped working from then on. I checked the 7.5A radio fuse on the dirver's side, it is not blown out. The Mannual shows there should be another radio fuse in the engine fuse compartment, unfortunately there wasn't. Is there really a second radio fuse??
Autozone has free repair guides. The one for your car's radio is:
If you applied power to the wrong wire or reversed polarity you probably cooked the radio (burned out transistor/diodes).
thanks Wolf, as you said, I have to discard the cooked radio...sigh... also thank John, autozone is a very good website! it's a big find for me today!
by the way, the sony radio can't be pull out because there need two special keys, from the radio's manuall.
There may be a reverse protection diode that burnt out and is cheap to replace. If the radio is worth it, you may want to try for a free estimate from a repair shop before throwing it away. davidj92
