i have a 95 es 300 everything stock:

the cd changer in the trunk had a wire kind of exposed and i think it was + going to the head unit .. anyway this thing touched the chasis (-) and now my whole stereo is not working (no power to the head unit). i checked the cig/stereo fuse under the kickpanel. and the one under the hood and they are both good. is there a fuse behind the stereo that might be blown? also i read that the removal off this stereo could cause damage to the air vents. SHould i take the car to a stereo shop or can i do this myself without damaging the vents..thanks

 

This may be irrelevant but there have been some cases on C.L. where a penny or something had fallen into the cig. lighter and was causing problems. Check to see if there is loose change in the cig. lighter. Other than that, I have no idea.

 

don't think it has anything to do with loose change. but thanks..

 

yea it was a stretch but it had been the culprit of problems for others good luck on finding a solution, sounds like you got a tough one.

 

I'm not sure if this applies to this car, usually there is a remote wire fuse. That gives signal to turn everything on. You might look it up and see if there is something like that located in the fuse box.

 

yea, go check all the fuses in all the locations (under dash, under hood, etc.)

 

There are 2 fuses that feed the stereo. Figuring those are good, you're going to have to start inspecting each componenet. The each most likely have s fuse within themselves also.

 

You just brought a thread from the dead. Anyway, the fuse box underneath the steering wheel where the pedals is at, a fuse is missing. I read the fuse box and its ST. I could turn on my stock radio, but I can't hear any sound. Just to clarify, is there a separate fuse for radio and speaker?
