hey guys, my RADIO fuse went out like after work.

I was trying to change the radio out and there was no power, then i look in the fuse box and my radio fuse is gone.

is the radio fuse also the ECU fuse? will my car start? everyones sleeping right now and if i try to turn on my car it will be loud if it does....i need to go to work tomorrow, and i want to know if it will turn on the car?

Well, its up to you to decide which is a greater priority: to maintain serenity, or to be able to get to work on time tomorrow morning.

I'd say give a shot just to make sure it runs. If it doesn't, search through the under-dash fuse box (in the drivers side kick panel) and see if there's a spare 7.5A fuse that fits. For reference, the four fuses on the corner of the fuse array (top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right fuses) are all spares.

Good luck.

The CLOCK/RADIO fuse is for backup power only. The car will still start and run, but won't "remember" anything when you turn it off and back on again. You just did my OBD2 workaround everyone's trying.

If you don't have OBD2 (can't remember what's in your sig) then you don't have to worry... I don't think it's even attached to the ECU.
