you guys rock... i love this forum!!!! Took out the radio, changed that fuse (looked like a bunch of powder in it) and voila... the radio worked! Only thing is when I try to put a regular cassette in the radio automatically blows the fuse, so I changed the fuse again and am more than happy to live with it in the current radio only situation. I am of the old school mentality and did not want to put a newer cd player in there, I like things to be original
