Hi Mister *****, Replace the link and if it blows again find out where the short circuit is. It could be dangerous! Regards John

SOURCE: Blew a fuse that powers radio/clock/lighter in

there is a fuse box under the dash on the drivers side. it is very hard to reach. it is located above your left knee when you are seated in the drivers seat. lay on your back, look up under the dash, use flashlight. The lid for the fuse box has a diagram showing which fuse goes to the radio.

My 2001subaru forester won't start I changed the bat. and nothing no headlights no radio but the emergency flashers work and the door chime.

If jump starting one hooks up backwards, even just a moment, it is possible to blow a fuse or fusible link, and on some cars even damage the ECU or other components. Check all fuses, then fusible links. Good luck.

When i hooked up my sterio i lost my brake lights,horn,blinkers and flashers

You blew a fuse. probably common to all those components. Advisable to run a single wire with inline fuse from your battery to your radio to eliminate this problem in future.

1984 aprice classic, Headlights, Tail lights, Interior lights not working (shut off while I was driving) Brake lights, blinkers still working... I checked fuses and replaced headlight switch... Still not...

Maybe power got cut going to the headlight switch. I think that would be a fusible link coming right off the battery source and going to the switch. Fusible links were used as power distributors before the era of maxi-fuses and power distribution boxes found in today's cars. Just like fuses, the link is designed to break and stop current flow if power demand is too high, like a short. Sometimes they get old and just give out. When the link goes, the wiring insulation may bubble or melt off some, the link may feel uneven or rough. Fusible links can be cut out and replaced with a similar rated new link. If you have no power to the headlight switch, look for a melted fusible link.

The curtesy fuse blew in my 1986 celebrity now even with a new fuse in the dash lights won't come on when the headlights are on and the radio don't come on the horn don't work and with the headlights...

that sounds like there maybe damaged wires or that there is a wiring fault. the new fuse you put in wasn't a bigger fuse then it is meant to have in it is it? cause if so instead of the fuse blowing the wires may melt together and damage parts or catch on fire etc.

My 1992 GTS radio,flashers,trunk light,horn dont work and air bag light on

The horn and the flashers are controlled by the 15 amp HAZ-Horn fuse.
The trunk light is powered by the 20 amp Dome light.
The radio is powered by the above Dome fuse, and the 15 amp Radio & CIG fuse.
With a 12 volt testlight, check for power on BOTH sides of the above fuses. If you have no power to either side of the fuses, you have an open circuit under the hood that feeds said fuses: Look for an open circuit in the main fusible link coming right off of the battery positive terminal to the wiring harness.
