89 Chry Lebaron... Additional Fuse Locations?	Sign In

I just blew something related to the radio power while changing a radio. I checked all the fuses at the main fuse block in the dash underneath the steering wheel (including the 10 amp fuse labeled "Radio".) There must be another location that I am not aware of. I read in my manual that some models similar to mine, have 3 and 4 locations for fuses and fusible links, but my manual doesn't help on my model. This is the "high line" convertible with a trip computer which now also doesn't work right, so there must be a ground loop somehow related to this. Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.

You said you checked that the fuse was ok but did you check whether there was power at the fuse? Knowing that and if there are any other dead circuits in the fuse panel, will hopefully give us a clue as to where to send you, as in fusible links.
This vehicle, I believe only has the one fuse panel but there are fusible links close to the left shock tower; behind or I should say to the rear of the battery.
A fusible link, is a short (3”~ 4”) section of wire, two sizes of wire smaller then the circuits main feed to a system. It’s connected inline, a short distance from the power source; in this case the battery’s accessory’s feed.
But if a fusible link has blown, it usually takes out more then just one or two things.
Get yourself a test light and start checking for power(s).
If this radio you were installing is an after market; they usually come with an inline fuse holder; if so on yours, have you checked it?
