Title: Radio fuse keeps popping
Post by: chiefmiller84 on September 17, 2016, 07:02:56 pm

Have an 83 C10 with the factory radio. The fuse keeps blowing. It'll work for anywhere from 5 mins to a week and then all of a sudden it blows. Any ideas?

Nope, just driving with radio on.

Is it the fuse behind the radio or the fuse at the box?

See if it happens when you wiggle wires behind the stereo.
