Hi emolover2009,

Thank you for the donation.

Does the fue blows only when the lights turned ON?

When installing the stereo, was any wires for the connectors spliced?

Which fuse is blowing?

The lighting circuit wires are shorted to ground. Recheck the splicing. Attached is a schematic of the radio circuit.
