My truck is blowing the Radio amp fuse under the hood (see pic below). Of course I now get no sound from the radio as a result. If I pull the radio / head unit out, it still blows the Radio amp fuse. I'd thought my truck was the non-bose without a stand alone amp. And I don't have an amp under the console as the bose setups do. Is there another location besides under the console the amp could be in? I have the subwoofer in the back of the truck. Is there an amp back there? I haven't pulled that appart. Below are pictures with more details.
FYI ~ I'm having a bad day. Almost want to cry, made a huge novice mistake. I accidentally hooked up jumper cables backwards. The radio just happened to be on when it happened but everything else off. I checked all my circuits. It managed to blow up something in amp circuit. I can smell burnt plastic by driver footwell area
I am rebuilding the radio system though but had hoped to use as much of the original equipment as possible. I'd already blown up part of the amp as I didn't realize my rear door speakers are 8 ohm and put in 4 ohm speakers. I blew up the rear channel in the amp. But the front and subs were still working for now. Now none of the channels work.
