i shorted out my radio and now theres no power to it i have a 91 camaro i checked all the fuses in the fuse box and the one on the radio does any one know what might be wrong

mine has been like this for a while and i haven't been able to fix it. It may just be the radio itself giving out or the wiring. I need to fix mine as well.

bust out a meter. check for constant power on the yellow wire, acc power on the red (key on) and ground, if you have all 3 the deck is toast

If it shorted out the fuse should have blown.I know you mentioned that you checked the radio fuse but I would check it again .
Is this a factory radio or aftermarket, some aftermarket radios have in line fuses.

I have double check all fuses and its an aftermarket radio

So you have done a continuity test on the radio fuse and no in line fuse or internal radio fuse then check for power as BluFBdy has mentioned in thread 3.
Let us know whether or not you have power at the radio connector.

Does your dome light come on?

irock88

Youve checked power from connector to ground which shows no power . Do you have any butt splices from old radio system wiring to new radio.
You mentioned you shorted out radio what were you doing to short it out and how do you know you shorted it out did you see sparks or just the fact the radio wasnt working.

The lighter and the radio are on the same circuit along with your courtesy lights you need to replace or fix the lighter and it shouldn't blow anymore
