Start by tracing your wiring from the h/u to the fuse block and then from there to the battery. Then the same for the clock. There's a short somewhere in there. Use a multimeter if you know how. Shorts are a pain in the arse and often easiest to fix by just rewiring the whole lot.Replaced a fuse in my car to try and get the radio/cd/tv player working - new fuse blows as well.
Can't understand, all electronics bar the clock, radio, tv and cd player work, the aircon display sits neatly between them and it lights up like christmas. Looks like a job for an auto electrician.
Thanks for the reply man. I only just recently got the car (matter of days) and there was no radio or clock working when I got it. I've never had experience chasing wires through the car, so I think it might just be a good idea to leave it to someone else when it goes in for a checkup in a couple of days.Start by tracing your wiring from the h/u to the fuse block and then from there to the battery.

This is assuming you had it all working in the first place, if not, could be a faulty h/u or if it's an upgrade from an old cd player it could have higher power draw so needs a bigger fuse (or ideally upgraded wiring)
If you're a practical thinking person the wiring in a car is relatively easy with a good diagram also or the ability to follow a physical wire in a cramped space
Agreed, It is not rocket science. If it id doing that, 90% chance a wire has had something happen to it. Look for frays, chafes or loose wires.Start by tracing your wiring from the h/u to the fuse block and then from there to the battery. Then the same for the clock. There's a short somewhere in there.

If it is all Lucas stuff you would be better off with licorice. At least when the electrics shit themselves you would have sonething to eat while stranded on the side of the road.It's rats, I tells ya. Little bastards seem to think its licorice in my landy. :smash:
If it's a Defender, you don't need electrics. Don't they run 1x9 Acera? Just pedal harder and you won't miss the heater. :smow:It's rats, I tells ya. Little bastards seem to think its licorice in my landy. :smash:
What make/model is the car, and are you sure the room fuse is in?Thanks for the reply man. I only just recently got the car (matter of days) and there was no radio or clock working when I got it.

Shit, the dub? How's the rest of it?...when you push your engine too hard and it combusts.....
That isn't good. What failed?...when you push your engine too hard and it combusts.....
1999 A32 Nissan Maxima 30G. It has a non-standard CD/TV player, but I'm pretty sure (in fact certain) it was an optioned extra at purchase.What make/model is the car, and are you sure the room fuse is in?
The room fuse is for the CD/Nav/etc, cabin lights and push-to-start if fitted, if it's not there those components won't work. Mazdas (and probably other makes) are delivered to the dealership in transit mode and we've got to chuck the fuse in during pre-delivery inspections - it could be exclusive to more modern vehicles though, not sure.1999 A32 Nissan Maxima 30G.

When I took the cover off the fuse box, it has the layout of the fusebox printed on it, so I just counted spaces until I found the correct 10A fuse for the slot marked AUDIO. There's a couple of 7.5A fuses for 'ELECTRONICS', not sure which one controls what (I'm assuming it's one of these that works the clock?).
What is the room fuse?
