Post by nigehutchison » Fri May 06, 2016 10:58 am

Hi guys,the radio on my 05 grand vitara seems to have no power,the wife pushed the knob to turn it of and now it wont turn on again, I have checked the fuses under the bonnet and they are ok,any suggestions welcome.

Are there any other fuse boxes on these, under the steering wheel?

I had a look under the steering wheel and it just looked like relays but maybe I didnt look close enough,

Just a thought,if its a after market radio rather than a factory fitted one,could a fuse be inline near the radio itself ?? the main one in the fuse box could be fine,but the inline one that comes with the radio that is if it is a after market one then that could have blown.

Just a thought,probably wrong as usual,but all the radios that i have bought from say Halfords have a inline fuse fitted,if its a factory fitted job then not sure what the problem could be.

Thanks guys, I have found the fuses under the steering wheel and the radio fuse is located there, I will change the fuse and see if it solves the problem.
