Looking at the fuses and none of them blown...so wondering what to do. Radio was working...hooked up a new amp. Powered it on was working for a few seconds then shut off...had one blown fuse that I replaced...but now wondering if I put the replacement back in the wrong place. Can't find the dang fuse diagram....maybe i'm just being stupid but i cannot find it on here or in the car. It's a 98 Ranger 2.3L Splash.....

On another note...did get a nice little kicker sub and a kicker amp though going to be a little difficult fitting the amp in the truck because its a single cab and tiny.

N e ways..can someone please find me the fuse diagram?

Did you check both fuses; one on the back of radio and the one in the panel box? If not that it's got to be the wiring, receivers don't just blow less it's a peice. Does it have any power is it just not giving sound or just no power? Did you hook it up your self if so check wiring one more time, harness all the way plugged in. Gotta trouble shoot beginning to end. Some fuse panels have two fuses for radio If i can remember check both.

Never heard of a radio locking up? But it will reset all your settings just have to reset it again.

My 97 had the same issue, check the audio fuse. It's different than what they label as the radio, its one of the higher numbers. Should be a red 10amp.

if u didnt disconnect the bat before any installation you run the risk of shorting your amp/deck done it a couple times with new parts.
lol a year late
