Way to go America. After screwing around for two hours. plugging and unplugging
TWO stereos, I did indeed pull the rear seat. In the fuze box closest to the battery,
there are indeed close to a dozen small fuzes, NONE of which say "radio". In fact,
they say everything BUT radio. So I started pulling the red 10 amp fuzes and lo
and behold, BINGO. Blown fuze! Thanks there GM for making that crystal clear.
The owner's manual say nothing about a fuze that controls the input TO the radio,
other than the one mounted on the left side of the dashboard. If you consult the
owner's manual, that fuze in question MAY (I don't have the manual in front of me)
be marked as "I/P or simply IP". WTF is "IP"? Then it dawned on me..."Instrument
Panel"? Of course! I lost two hours of my life troubleshoot (one hour and fifty
minutes because I'm an amateur mechanic), but to whoever posted that "10 amp"
minifuze comment above, you were dead on. You saved me the embarrassement
of looking my son in the eye and teling him I screwed up his car worse than when I
started. Many thanks!
