Radio doesn't work In my 97 SHO

[SHO04093]

Hey guys I recently blew a fuse on my Fuse panel under the Dash for my Radio and even though I replaced it with a new one it still doesnt work. I was wondering if there is another fuse some where else that I might need to replace? Such as a fuse on the radio its self? Any help would greatly be appreciated thank you very much

There is a map of the fuse locations and circuits on the fuse cover and in the owners manual. There is no separate fuse on the actual radio.

I suggest checking all the fuses not just the one you replaced (and recheck it as well). After wiring up my car with all the GEN III @#*^ I can recall multiple fuses to run the entire audio system.

The connectors may need to be massaged too. There are two on the ICP and then some at the rear unit too. Just unplugging and then plugging them back in works wonders some times.

I was wondering what you ment by two on the ICP? And where would the rear unit be located at too? I have found a 5amp undert the Dash that was blown as we speak right now and I have replaced that one, Then I found a
20amp at the front of the car in the engine compartment just as you open the hood there is a Power Distrabution Box and it has the 20amp in there I found that one blown so I replaced that one and everytime I go to hook the battery back up I hear it pop and blow that one. Is there any more ? That maybe I am missing? I have pulled every one out from under the dash and made sure they were all good but was wondering if maybe I am miss one some where? Thank you for your time and help

The back of the football (ICP) has two connectors for the radio, one for the inputs and one for the outputs.

Which 20A fuse is blowing?

Rear unit is under the carpet on the wheel well ahead of the CD player.



If it is fuse 17 that powers the rear control unit and the CD player.

Thank you for the help, Ok stupid question what do you mean the back of the Football? New to this car so the terminoligy is bad.
The answer to your question about which 20amp is blown is the one in the black disrtabution box In the front of the car it is labled AUDIO on the back side of the Black Cover that covers them?

Football = Radio

It's oval shaped so it kind of looks like one.

Ok I found the rear contorl unit ok under the carpet mounted to the Left Rear well anyways I diconnected it ok then i put a fresh 20 amp in the Front distrabution Box In the front of the car its #17 On your schematic you had posted for me SHOZ123 anyways with the unit disconnected un the rear it doesnt blow the 20 amp fuse but when i plug the unit back in it Blows it?

If it only blows the fuse when the RCU is plugged in then it's not a wiring problem. Try disconnecting the CD player and see what happens. Either way it is either the CD player of the RCU that is bad.

Ok great, I dont have a CD player so could it be just a bad Radio?
