i replaced the radio the other day. went from a mid 80s vintage pioneer to a sony cd/mp3 pplayer. prior to install, pioneer stopped working. i recently r&r the front tranny pump. it was after i completed this that i noticed the radio (pioneer) not working. So i scored the sony.
installed it last weekend. seemed to work fine all day sunday and monday however, tuesday did not work. blown fuse. replaced, blew fuse again.
removed cigar lighter and glove box lamp. blew fuse. unplugged radio and antenna. fuse ok. plugged radio in. would not come on. checked V, ok. began to plug antenna in, noticed a spark to body of radio. fuse blew.
any idea what is happening? antenna not grounded properly? short in antenna?
side note perhaps related? the nss came off while adjusting bowden cable monday evening.
Also, noted Fuse 2 has blown.
any help greatly appreciated...
