I was wondering if someone had a piece of advice that they could give me. I have a 2004 Dodge Durango Limited SUV and about 4-5 months ago my battery died. I had 2 people try to jump start the truck. When the first person that tried, the truck wouldn't start. However, when the second person tried to jump the truck off, he accidentally crossed the wires, and when my wife tried to start it, the battery sparked. After we got the truck started and let it run for a bit, I brought the truck to Autozone and exchanged the battery. Since then, my radio hasn't been working. It will turn on fine and will switch to the CD player as well. But when you turn it on, it makes a sound that seems like it is stuck in the CD mode. I have checked the fuses for the power to the radio and to the amp. The fuse that powers the amplifier was blown, but I was able to put a new one in after removing the negative terminal to the battery. I tried to put one in without doing that and a surge from the battery blew the fuse. I also have a DVD player that came installed in the truck as well. When you push the mode button to switch to the DVD player, it will not switch over. So I am wondering if I didn't fry the DVD player as well. Yesterday, I talked to my father and he suggested to have the alternator checked just to make sure that when the old battery sparked it didn't ruin the charging mechanism. I did and it checked out fine. Am I right to assume that the amplifier is shot?
