Unhappy Fuses...

Well Im not for certain what happened and I was messing with my radio and all of a sudden it wouldn't turn back on...My clock is not working either. I checked every fuse in the car except the ones shown below...
The ones in the Yellow...How do I take those out?

Those are a little more "tricky" to get out (basically have to unclip it), but the accessory fuse for the radio, clock etc. is usually in there for most cars.

The fuses for the items not working are inside the car up under the dash, not under the hood where you are. Remove the little useless compartment down by the driver's left knee, then you'll see them. The fuse layout should be in the owner's manual.

Best bet if you don't have the owners manual is to use a multmeter and test all of the fuses to be safe with the ignition on. I know for some cars, the pic you showed with the fuses in the yellow housing contains an accessory fuse for the radio, interior light etc. but quite possibly on this particular car it could be under the dash like otter suggested...

The radio fuses are located in the engine compartment. In the yellow clip thing is 2 fuses as you can see. The radio and clock i believe. If you look at the plastic it will tell you.

yea I switched out those fuses with some 10a's and it works now. Question though. Is it really necessary to have the yellow holder? or what is the whole point of it?

Pull up on the yellow holder and try and start your car... see what happens

Yeah...I figured that's where it was as that is usually the case in most cars. I supply alot of the car dealers here with cd player etc and when their new cars come into the country, they come with that yellow holder up (or a similar one) so that incase a door is left open etc during shipping, it won't kill the battery because it usually contains the accessory fuses like I mentioned that control the radio, lights etc. Starting the car with that tab up shouldn't be a problem.
