Angry Help! My stupid radio, and stuff.

Recently, my radio has stopped working.
Everything lights up on it, except the clock.
It will not play, and when I push any button, nothing happens.
I'm not sure if a fuse is blown, or what.

The green ring around the ignition switch will not light up.
NOR will my side view mirrors move when I move the switch either!

I have no idea why it all just suddenly stopped working.
Any help would be awesome.

Thanks!

There is another fuse under the hood. Check the FAQ in this section for pictures of the fuse box layout.

Look 2 posts above this one. Look to the left side of the page. Spot the green arrow. Click on the FAQ. Check all fuses under the hood and under the dash. Also if that doesn't work you may want to replace that radio. Remember your dealing with 95 technology. Stuff brakes when it is 14yrs old.

I had the exact same symptoms. I replaced the fuse under the hood in the Power Distribution Center. Its one of two fuses that are regular size in there. One is 5amp one is 20 amp. Replace the 5amp.

I replaced the number 5 fuse.
But it only made my windows move again. Which is still a good thing.
But the radio is still not showing the clock.

Maybe the radio is just bad.
But a few more of my fuses under the dash are messed up.
Numbers 4 and 20.
