#1 of 5 Radio Fuse keeps blowing by chrisj5 Mar 05, 2009 (7:17 pm)
For the first time the radio was out. Another sympton is the remote key entry does not work. Radio fuse was blown. Immediately upon replacing the 10amp fuse it blows. Tried turning off the radio (a guess) first and replace fuse, still blows right away. I have a 2003 Chevy Venture (Warner Bros. series). Any suggestions on what the culprit is?

Replying to: fdubiel (May 01, 2009 10:02 am) Yes I did.   It ended up being the radio. Of course I dismantled the interior side panel to access the sliding door motor first to only determine it wasn't that.   The radio had two coins in it, a nickel and a disney coin. Once I worked the coins out of the radio I put it back in and it worked like new.   I have a special needs child who does some amazing (trying to be nice) things sometimes. This is one example.   Chris Replies to this message: fdubiel (May 07, 2009 4:34 am) chases (May 07, 2009 8:16 am)

Replying to: chrisj5 (May 01, 2009 4:21 pm) Thanks, Chevy dealer thought the radio had a short and replaced it under warranty, but as soon as they turned the new radio on, the fuse blew again. Seems the radio fuse keeps blowing and the battery runs down. Replies to this message: chases (May 07, 2009 8:16 am)

Stay away from the big boys like best buy type stores.   The shop should have a qualified installer that could debug your problem without much time. Thats what I used to do all the time for the dealerships.
