Radio quit, dead, no mas

The CD24 stereo in the 987 is a pile of crap. Don't hesitate to complain to your dealer about it for any little problem!

Pulling fuses has worked for me, I forget which ones though--they're listed on the back of the fuse panel cover though. Remember that fuses don't have to look "blown" in order to actually be malfunctioning though. You might have a blown fuse without even realizing it.

I always keep a fuse checker with the tiny green light that flashes when the fuse is still good. Saved my neck one night when it was raining monsoon like and my wiper fuse blew out.

its a little plastic piece. when the fuse is plugged into the fusebox you can simply just plug this little plastic piece into the holes in the top of the fuse when its plugged in and it will light up when its fine, and won't light up if its blown. you can pick one up at any autoparts place, usually comes with spare fuses!

comes in handy alot as one time i had a blown fuse and the fuse just barely blew, you couldn't even tell with your eye but when you used the little mechanism it sure told the truth!

Hi,

Yes these things do work and can be handy. But, I don't use one - don't need another tool, especially one which duplicates a tool I already have.

I use the test leads on my multimeter, set for Continuity, using the same test holes on the tops of the fuses. This does the exact same thing except audibly, not visually. If the Fuse is good, I get a Beep, if not, no sound...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
