While installing 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 radio I grounded the hot wire and blew a fuse but no fuse in fuse box is blown is their an inline fuse someplace?
Brian, double check ALL your fuses using an Automotive Fuse Tester because certain vehicles may have a wire tied into another circuit not labeled as car radio. You may have additional fuse boxes by the driver side of the dash, passenger side of the dash, driver kick panel, passenger kick panel, under the steering column or under the hood. If all of your fuses are good, your 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 factory amplifier (if equipped) may be faulty. We suggest you take your car to an experienced audio installer and have them troubleshoot your problem. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 radio troubleshooting.
