i just blown a fuse and my radio has turned off i have checked all the fuse on the deck and into the engine along with the one to the battery is there a fuse speicfly for the radio inside the car in the fuse box or something cause my deck will not turn and i dont know what to do i checked everything and i cant find the radio fuse in the manual

 

In the engine bay fuse box, there is a 20A fuse listed as "RAD NO.1" near the back side. (electrical wiring manual found here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=138455)

 

Not really relevant, but there is another fuse box inside the car. Stick your head by the brake pedal and look up. It will be on your right.

 

^Indeed, that is where the other fuse box is located. Here is the diagram for that fuse box for future reference:

 

so which on eis the fuse for the radio under the steering wheel?

 

 

i checked that one and that one is fine....is there another fuse for the radio unter the steering wheel?

 

It may be the accessory fuse (which is under the steering wheel), although I would think you would notice other lights off as well. Did you drive it at night or only during the day with your headlights off?

 

I think the question should be why did your radio blow a fuse?

unless something is wrong with the wiring or the radio it should not blow a fuse.

 

can someone tell me if there is a fuse for constant power ? i'm trying to hook up my tach but i cant seem to find the constant wire behind the head unit .. by the way if anyone have any suggestion on how to hook up a tach any easier way please let me know i am open to advice .. thanks

 

I agree, it should only be a rare occasion that the radio would blow a fuse. I'm also curious.

 

You can get constant 12V from the positive spot shown in the pic below (don't worry about the negative wire).

 

yes it was the ACC 7.5A fuse now my radio works again thank god, reason y it blew a couple of months ago i installed the F1 carbon fiber mirrors and i didnt like them and the guy that installed them cut my stock mirror plug and all the cables were touching on the passenger side mirror, so when i put the stocks back and went to adjust the mirror the radio blew, and then i checked the mirror and realized this d*ck head had all the cables touching....so it basically blew the fuse under the steering wheel column but everything seems fine now thanx alot every1

 

oh yea everything was fine lights everything just the radio wasnt working pretty weird

 

Glad we could help. :D

 

i have factory fog lights, and i blew a fuse testing a busted HID ballast (dont ask why i was doin it that way..... i learned my lesson) but i have no freakin idea where the fuse is, if there is even a fuse?? Help please

 

poerofSHN is ur man for that hes solving everyones problem lol

 

and this is located under the dash ?

 

I looked through the electrical manual and couldn't find anything about the fog lights. Sorry man, but I got nothing for ya.

I do what I can. :D

Yes, on the far left under the panel that has the power mirror controls. There's a little "handle" to pull the piece of plastic off to access the area in question. Just pull on it real hard and it'll pop off. You'll then see what I'm referring to.

 

ok i got ya ... well maybe you can help me out on hooking up my tach ..... i just bought a glow shift tach it come with 4 wires red yellow green black...

red is acc where would i hook that up to ? i was thinking cig. lighter
yellow would have to be the constant
green is tach signal which i can tap into from the obd II scanner plug
black is ground of course

this is the way i was planning on doing if you have an easyer way please let me know ....
