Default Fuse #8 keeps blowing

My 2001 GS300 keeps blowing the Radio no. 2 fuse (location is 8). This started happening after I pulled my factory stereo to check the wiring that runs to my external XM radio receiver. What could be causing this? I have no radio or climate control right now!

Cool

Not to be obvious, but something is shorting out the power wire. I would suggest pulling the radio again and seeing if something managed to wiggle loose. I would also look in the dash to ensure nothing slipped out of place and is making contact where it shouldn't be. Finding the little gremlins can be a pain, but it really is just looking until you find something.

Good luck and let us know what you find.

Do NOT listen to this suggestion. Not sure if this is a joke, but it's a very dangerous suggestion.
