There is usually more than one fuse for the radio.

in the instrument panel fuse block there will be an AUDIO fuse and an AV fuse. If the radio has an amp there will be an AMP fuse in the under hood fuse block.

If all three of those are good let me know and I'll try to help you further.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

    I did this, too! I've checked all of the fuses in the driver's door & under the hood. I keep hearing about an inline fuse? Where is that located? I have the stock 6-disc radio in my 05 Sportage.

Alternator smoked up while battery was installed turned ignition on to verify i had power to the car than knocked the negative post off on accident and reattached than smoke

no car told at all maker model nor year. ouch 100 years of cars. wow.
all that is wrong,
battery rules
key off. and in pocket or work bench set. near have 2 keys near ignition
battery rules are neg off first ,POS off last.
and POS on first and neg last (the reverse going back in)
if only working on car the rule is battery lug neg off only.
never reverse battery cables, ever, or smoke out. or jumper backwards. BOOM even both cars jumped BOOM . learn this now.

never let lugs hit the body of car or ever.
the silly panic stuff you read (small wires) stuff?? yeah well know.
is, battery disconnect the radio goes dead lacking its code easy to get. or all computers on board go to learn mode, well let it .
lost radio stations memory , no crying towel there (DIY)
ever mess with ALTERNATOR lugs. pull BAT main NEG first or blow up the alternators huge 100amp fuse.
you need to learn electrics first. or blow things up just working say engine problems, do all ASE electric classes first, take notes.

learn not to blow up $3000 computers in the car , now to chip shortages (china chip bull)
and now 2times overpriced. OUCH, learn it now.
how to do it right. (and what happens done wrong, matters too)
you let the smoke out, for sure .

My dashboard, radio and the windows have all stopped working on my Toyota Chaser mark 11 1g, how can I fix this problem.

It isn't normally as easy as changing a fuse. Fuses only blow when power is diverted to ground. Connecting a battery in reverse polarity causes damage to modules and sensors which require replacement. The Toyota 'Chaser' is an unknown model to us here in North America, so this search query may work better for you. Please add the year to my query before the work 'Toyota'. You will almost certainly need a good auto-electrician to diagnose the module that has failed, probably BCM.

and a bit of information regarding reverse polarity.

Reversed polarity on jump start. now wont go into gear or hold charge

OLder cars YEs you can jump it without a battery. But in newer cars that use computers and advanced Eltronic ignition/timing/ful injection you have to have power to the cars computer. without a good battery the car will not run.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A freind went to jump my battery off he reversed his lead on the jumper cables when he went toput on his battery I changed my battery and now the radio won't work

Check your fuses to your radio... the reversed polarity may have been blown... Alot of aftermarket stereos have a fuse in the line to the power of the radio ..be sure to look there too.

Car would not start. jumped it off twice. replaced battery. ok for 4 mo. stopped dead. replaced alternator. ok for a week. stopped dead. had at shop for three days. ran ok for two. now dead again. could it...

Possible battery drain.
Remove the negative battery cable from its post and connect an ammeter red probe
to the negative battery post and the black probe to the negative battery cable.
Now start pulling fuses until the voltage on the meter returns to normal.
(anything above a half of a volt is too high) The fuse you pulled to get this
result is the affected circuit. Now you have to probe it from its B+ source to
the load
to find the short. Check all connectors for rust and the line for opens or
shorting to ground. Repair accordingly.

I had to jump start my 82 ford econoline. does this blow most of the fuses in the fuse box. my after market radia has stopped working

No not usually. It's high current flow that blows fuses and unless you put more than 12-14 volts onto the battery no harm could be done. However if you accidently reversed the polarity (put the cables on back to front) then you would cause damage to the alternator diodes and the battery would drain back though them. If the radio was switched on at time of jumping, it would be damaged.

How hard is it to replace the starter on a 2001 chevy express van

Really shouldn't be bad, you will have to get underneath the vehicle, but once you're there, its basically disconnecting the posotive and negative wires, and 2 to 3 bolts holding it in the motor, after that, its just the reverse procedure for installation, make sure you disconnect the battery before hand, the 12v can give you a good wake up call. Hope that helps
