Electrical problem
2001 Kia Rio

Everytime I turn the car on, the fuse to the radio blows. This happens whether the radio is on/off. All the other fuses are fine. What can I do??

If it happens when the radio is off, chances are there is a short between the fuse box and the radio itself. Locate the power wire at the radio and follow it back to the power supply. Check for damage to the wire, freying, or a pinched wire.

Let me know what you find.
