I don't know a heck of a lot about the wiring of my 93 so here's my problem.

We have had this ongoing radio problem where it will just quit working all of a sudden. I thought it had something to do with the radio itself. I went outand bought a new radio and installed it. Still didn't work. Looked in the Fuse box and noticed that one was blown. I replaced it and then the radio worked

Then later on, the radio stopped working even though the fuse is fine. Now, my radio doesn't work, my electric mirrors aren't working, and the dinging sound when a door opens isn't working.

Are all these probs tied together somehow? If so, what do I need to look at? If not, what should I look for to fix these probs.

I don't have the money to take the car in so I'm gonna have to do this myself

Thanks for any suggestions

when the fuse pops, do the dash panel lights work? if the fuse blows when you turn your dome light on chances are someone grounded the radio to the factory positive dimmer wire. this wire reads ground until the headlights or parkinglights are on then it goes 12 volts. the positive dimmer wires purpose is to dim the radios display lights with the rest of the dash lights.
