    Does anyone have any advice on where to start looking for a short? I’ve replaced the radio and all the fuses but they keep blowing and I can’t get the radio to turn on. Thanks for the help!

    You’re looking for a short on the circuit that keeps blowing fuses…

    Depending on which one blows the issue might not be the radio circuit. If ACC is popping there are several other things on that circuit that could be giving you problems. I’m not sure if there are other things on the radio’s constant 12VDC circuit besides the radio.

    If you power the radio outside of the vehicle on a car battery and it works fine then your issue is not the radio itself.
