Which fuse is the one for the Audio/Radio in the Kia Rio 2003? Think i blew the fuse when two wires from the car touched. Want to replace it but fuse diagram doesn't say which one is 'audio' or 'radio'. THANKS!!

place an amp meter in the circuit of the battery earth wire and get an idea of what the current draw is so you can have an idea of what piece of equipment is using the power. Radio amps require a big draw where glove box light, boot light, interior light are small draws. If it shows a medium draw the pull the ECM fuse, or IGN fuse or light control module fuse to see if the current draw drops . Even new alternators can be faulty especially if the unit was not wired up correctly and blew a diode. All it takes is a simple touch . have an accredited auto electrician check it out on the bench
You are right... You will need to check your fuses. You can buy a fuse puller and pull each one out to check to see if the metal bar is separated or you can often times just tell by looking at it. Most interior fuses is on drivers side .
Check all your fuses, if ok...chances are you blew a computer. Last option is try to disconnect the battery, take both terminals on the harness side and touch them together for a min or so. This will drain any capacitors and essential wipe minor driveability settings stored in ecm
check for inline fuse on radio wire, if not blown-- go to a retail store buy anther radio have it in stalled 200 dollars MAYBE HAVING SOMEONE CHASE DOWN GHOST WIRING CAN COST YOU, MUCH EASIER TO BUY ONE INSTALL IT AND CALL IT A DAY
Some of the other fuses are connected to the function of the radio. I have had this problem before. Cant remember which on, but as easy as it is to pull one out at a time to check them, You could just do that.
