Unable ro locate and need to replace the fuse on stock radio

check for power at the terminal end that connects to the radio. if yes then there may be a fuse inside the radio itself. this may have blown.

There may be a fuse located directly on the amp, but ultimately there should be one on the stock fuse block for the vehicle located inside the cab

Hi Tony:
If it is a stock radio, the fuse should be in the fuse panel. Check the user manual or google an enquiry with make, model, and year, with the key words -radio fuse location.
If it is an aftermarket radio it may have an in-line fuse on the electrical supply. Finding that may involve some searching and wire tracing.
Cheers.
If you want more info from me, reply as a comment to this post.

the cd has wires,
if stock the cars FSM covers this.
if not stock CD (stock BTW means, as lift left the factory)
if not stock, CD, then .
A: get brand and pn of this unit,
b: get the manual on line from maker or whomever.
c: now you see which wires are power, follow them.

be aware if the cars radio fuse is good, then the car
has a bad CD or is wired no stock.
some audio gear, have an inline fuse near it, or was added upstream. or has a fuse the GEAR.
those are the steps... if you had told the name of CD gear
and model number, this all is acedemic (easy)

replace the fuse. its marked RADIO. or RAD.
in the fuse box.
if stock car
if not stock car, the possibles are infinite... truly.
if not stock post brand and model number on radio. sticker.

If it is an aftermarket radio (one you or someone other than the dealership installed) then it could be a number of things. it could be a faulty or broken radio, the wiring could be hooked up wrong, or it could just be a blown fuse which, in some cases, is located on the back of the radio itself, under the hood in a fuse box, in the glove compartment, under the passenger side of the dash, or on the very driver side that is only accessable when the door is open. If it is a stock radio (one that came with the car when it was made) then it is probubly just a blown fuse in one of the locations mentioned above. hope this helps.

It may be doubled up with either the radio fuse or the interior lights. If you have replaced the stock radio with a CD player, then the CD player has its own fuse separate of the fuse box. I would start there...

Most likely you got the illumination wire for the stock radio grounded. The stock radio has lights in it that are connected to the dash lights to illuminate the dials of the radio. Most aftermarket stereos don't have a hook up for that. The wire may have got hooked up to ground. I would check the fuse to see if it's bad. Also you might want to undo the new stereo, replace the fuse, if it's bad, and check the wires for battery when the headlights are on.

under the hood.. maun fuse box .. make sure dealer scans system after replacement.. just to be safe

According to my schematic of your BASE system...
There is a 20A fuse for constant power...

AND

a 5A fuse for ignition power

AND a delay relay.

CLICK HERE to see the schematic.

All the fuses are located in the same fuse panel.

If you need more help - let ma know.
