Question Blown fuse somewhere...please help!

Hey guys,

I was driving on the highway this morning, nothing outrageous. When my radio went off, no power. Clock went out too. When I got out of the car, tried to hit the factory alarm, and nothin!@$%!, check some fuses in the engine compartment, and nothin. About to check under the dash now. Does anyone know what could be wrong. Everything is mostly stock, except an air intake. Please help, thanx

Yes it happened to me as well, the radio and the clock are on the same 10 amp fuse and sometimes it pops. It in the engine bay fuse box, when you open it it there will be 2 10 amp fuses inside of a yellow square... its the one near the front of the car. Replace it and all should be fine. Good luck and GO BROWNS!

My best guess is that it all runs off of one 10amp fuse and if yourself like I did also added a boost gauge its also on the same fuse. On the inside there is a place for another 10amp fuse for the radion but it is blocked by plastic in the center so it wont except a fuse. Your guess is as good as mine as to why mitsu only went with one 10amp for the whole clock and radio set up.
