radio stopped working - Honda Prelude Forum

Basically, I was listening to music, I ran into the store, and when I got back into my car, my radio stopped playing music. The radio powers up. I'm guessing I blew a fuse or something.

Have you checked your fuses?

not yet, I've been in school all day. Which fuses are the ones most likely to go in this situation?

PininFarina456 · 04-10-2007, 08:44 PM

I would check all. Its not that hard to do.

it seems that all my fuses are fine. I guess a wire came loose behind the headunit. I'm going to look at it tomorrow

its one big fat wire if I remember right... we are talking about the stock system?

I have an aftermarket unit, its a kenwood of some sort.

I checked the wiring, it all checks out. This is really confusing

If it was the fuse, your radio would not power up at all.
Good chance your unit blew itself up.

this is really odd, the unit still shows display and and switch between different modes, ipod, radio, cd. It even counts the seconds when it is on a song. My view on kenwoods have definitely changed

okay this is really odd, I just bought a new kenwood unit and it does the same thing! I guess I should really recheck my fuses or something. This isn't a headunit problem, thats for sure. I did recently install some new front speakers. Even if somehow I screwed up the fronts, shouldn't the back be working also?

I found out the problem, it was my connections on my speakers, it was touching metal so it grounded itself out.
