Accessory (ACC) Fuse

where can I find this fues. At the moment, My radio doesn work, nor my Dashboard clock, I checked the fueses behind the headlight switch adjuster, and also the ones in the engine bay on the driver side. Am I missing any more?

Radio powers up and I could eject the CD's but thats about it. It doesn actually fully power up.

Did you just recently wire up something new? If so, re-check your wiring. For the radio to power up like that, it wouldn't be a fuse.

The radio fuse is in the main fuse box in the engine bay. The lid has a diagram of what fuse powers what. If you recently had the radio out to work on something, maybe your antenna wire is loose? Stupid mitsubishi uses the antenna wire as the ground. But that wouldn't effect the clock. It easy to tell if a fuse is blown by looking at it, it will be burned on the inside of the clear plastic. GL and keep us posted.

How can the radio partially power up if the fuse is blown?

That happened to me a while back on another car. The acc fuse blew but the constant power fuse was ok so the radio would light but not turn on. It depends on the radio.

No kiddding? That's why I leave the stereo stuff to the experts. Then I agree, re-check your fuses. If it was just the radio, then I'd say maybe the radio is screwed up. But since your clock is affected, it's gotta be a fuse.

I re-checked the main fuse box again, removed all the fuses and checked the one by one. I went as far as removing the bezel and removing the clock to see if there was any other hidden fuses, nothing. In the fuse box, there is one that is empty which shows "radio", but in between where the "prongs" would normal go there is a tab indicating that there was never a fuse there. Weird, I dunno, im thinking of putting my stock radio back and removing my TT and Gauges and seeing if the dealer would fix it under warranty...

TIA guys

Check your wiring again. Make sure you have a solid ground. If you shared any of the wires with the radio, that could be your problem.

Check and make sure your antenna is plug in as well. Even something as simple as that can cause some issue like you described.

keep us posted.

it wouldnt eject at all if the antenna wasnt plugged in.

its definitely the accessory lead
either the wire is burnt out or the fuse is bad. change that fuse anyways,
many times they are bad, and look fine.

alright update, checked all my fuses and all are in working order. took a fuse checker and also a MM and found continuity on all fuses.. I also found out that my rear whiper isnt working .

So could it be a relay?? i will next disconnect the battery and it should reset everything... I dont want to take it to the dealer.. COME ON PEOPLE THINK!!!

Did the problem surface right after installing either the radio or gauges?
