need some help with radio

[jasonzahn]

must have been something i did, because I tried to replace the stock radio with a new radio, and now i cant get any power to it. Also at the same time, I developed another problem, without the key in the on position, nothing works, no headlights, no power door locks, nothing. I have a 1999 caravan and I checked the fuse, it was fine, but there are all sorts or relays and fuses under the hood as well, and i was hoping someone would know?

Check the fuses in the Power Distribution center, box under hood, probably popped one in there, owners manual will tell you which one is for radio

[jasonzahn]

alright i will try that tomorrow and let you know if it worked. It was just funny because at the same time the radio stopped working, nothing works without the key in the on position, no headlight, no power door locks, no interior lights, etc etc. but I will try what you suggested.

thanks!

I did check all of the fuses under the hood, they all appeared to be good, however there are a number of relays, one of which is cig and accys. I was hoping someone would know how to test those relays and what I am supposed to get.

I would just buy 1 new 1 and replace the accys if nothing then replace the cig one.I think i did that and my radio worked again.

it is the ignition off draw fuse IOD fuse. check that i bet its blown swap with another known good fuse.

[jasonzahn]

alright i looked for that fuse but could not find it, I looked both under the dash and under the hood and couldn't locate it, i wonder if it is somewhere else or else maybe its under a different name in a 99 caravan?
