Hi all, recently i tried to install a new CD receiver for my 94 accord lx. When the installation is almost done( I finished testing the power and speaker to my new CD receiver), the digital clock at the central console was out suddenly ( i believe i screw up something). Now there is no power to my CD receiver and no power to my Clock. I suspect is the fuse blown. Can anyone tell me what fuse is for the digital clock( does it shares the fuse with the radio?), and anything else could cause the problem. Right now my car has no stereo due to the power problem. Other than that, everything is normal. Thanks for helping.

 

Check for a fuse labeled "RADIO" or "CLOCK". I know on the 6th gen, there are 2 seperate ones.

Please double check all your wires. Fuses don't blow on their own, so try to find the root cause of the issue.

 

i check both fuse box under hood and the one next to driver side, but only find one say "radio and cigaratte". Is it the one that connect the radio and the clock together?

 

Bingo. That's it.

 

thanks e39,
so after i change that fuse, the power to my CD player and clock should be back on, rite?

 

Yes, i had the same problem before as the fuse blown, both the radio, the clock and i think the signal lights were off on my 01 accord. But i checked everything and couldn't find out until i looked in the Manual book and it showed me where to locate the fuse for the radio. I found it on the passenger side and pulled it out and yes, it blown. I replaced it and everything seems to be normal. But one thing is that because when i was installing new DVD sytem, the power seems to be too strong for the fuse to handle that's why it blow off.

 

esentially yes you should get power back after changing the fuse....as long as the radio isnt shorting or the reason it blew isnt still there....its hapened to me...and afterwards it was fine but if u blow another one then u have an electrical issue

 

yeap, just like these guys said!

If the fuse is blown, it'll break the power circuit to the battery. Swap it out with the same "amp" fuse and you'll be good. I'm not sure how it is on the 5th gens, but on the 6th gens the "RADIO" fuse also holds the charge for the ECU. So, what's the big deal?

The ECU is reset when power is disrupted. There's always a small electrical charge running to it, just like your radio and how it saves FM stations. When you change the fuse and the radio is fine again, be sure to let your car idle on the driveway for 5 minutes. Drive normally, no flooring it, for 15 minutes afterwards. Your ECU needs to re-learn it's fuel/air mixture again.

 

thanks guys, i changed it, and everything works fine now.

 

i had a problem just like this, i was going up a hill, racing my friend... stupid me. and for some reason my radio blew. now when i tried to replace my back up radio fuse which is 7.5 amps, it wont take anothher 7.5 amp!!! anyways my radio burned out, my clock never went past 1 and was very dim, my corner turn sigals did not work, and i had other minor electrical problems. i never found what the problem was... i just replaced the radio/clock 7.5 fuse with a 10 amp fuse and it works now...
