Default RADIO NO. 1 FUSE...Constant ACC POWER!!!

I pulled my SC out of winter storage and noticed my stereo wasn't working.

I checked the radio, amp, and the RADIO NO.1 / NO.2 fuses.

Turns out the 20 AMP RADIO NO.1 fuse was blown in relay block NO.2 under the hood.

No worries, replaced it with a new one and my radio is jamming again!! But now my accessories have constant power (radio,clock,etc..)

To eliminate the radio being the issue I removed my head unit from the equation. No go still have constant ACC power.

If I remove the new 20 AMP fuse for RADIO NO.1 and turn the key to ACC the clock comes on when its suppose to but no fuse.. no tunes..

I'm guessing I should start looking at the Relay block NO. 2 harness?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

you need the wiring diagram for the car. . .

Your situation of removing the fuse and turning it to acc i'm unsure about, but the beginning had me thinking that you had an issue at the kickpanel.

It seems like a LOT of the electrical issues that occur w/ these cars, occur with a lowered vehicle. The harness under the driver well gets hit, or in my terrible case, water gets into the cabin and destroys the Junction 1 Relay Box.

The problem was the 20 AMP fuse under the hood relay block NO.2.

The RADIO NO.1 fuse has been haunting me for years!!!

My clock and acc's would stay on then go off then they would be on for a week or so then off.

I have an aftermarket head unit and with the way it was wired I don't even need to use the RADIO NO.1 fuse.
