I have a 98 Acura CL. I put a car charger in the lighter to charge my phone like usual. This time when I put it in it shut down my audio system. Everything else works fine on the panel, but my audio system screen is blank. It is like it locked me out. Do you have any suggestions to get it working again?
Marcus, first thing you should do is double check ALL your fuses and you might have a blown fuse somewhere. Second, make sure your car charger is a brand name phone charger. Sometimes, cheaply made or fake phone chargers draw more power from your cigarette lighter than it should and may cause problems for other components in your car. Hope this helps. Good luck.
I have 1998 Acura 3.0 CL, the car audio system has been out, I checked the fuses panel including the charger, they were fine. My car radio is the Bose system. So, could you give me any ideas in order to find out what is wrong with that. Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely Yours

Nguyen, if you have checked ALL your fuses and ALL your fuses are good then it sounds like your radio is faulty. Our advice is to replace your radio with an aftermarket radio. Hope this helps. Good luck with your radio replacement.
