Blown radio?

donc · 11th April 2021, 18:42

while jump starting the car i inadvertently blew a maxifuse which caused the engine not to start. I have replaced the fuse and the engine is now firing up normally but I find the audio system, a Panasonic with Bluetooth and connections for a rear facing camera, is totally dead. Everything else electrically works fine. Does the Panasonic have a separate fuse apart from the one which also connects the electric windows and mirrors. And if so how do I get access to it? Advice would be appreciated.

There may be an internal fuse but without specific model information its impossible to say.

If you remove the unit there's often a blade fuse in the back by the iso connection
