    Unhappy S4 B5's Radio not powering on; Please Help!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have an 02 S4 B5. My stock battery died and evidently when it did it took something with it. After I attached my new optima battery I noticed that my brake light was flashing, my abs light was on solid, and my radio wouldn't turn on. After checking all the fuses I saw that the fuse for the radio was blown, along with the foglights and abs. Once I replaced all the fuses, everything works correctly minus the radio.

    The radio is not powering on, and I know the fuse on the driver side panel is not the issue. This is not a SAFE issue, as I am getting absolutely no juice to it at all... Is there another fuse inside the actual radio unit or amplifier?



    I ordered Audi radio removal tools off ebay too, they should be coming early next week. (yes I know I could make my own, but I would rather not screw up the latch/locking mechanism; after all they're only 3 bucks shipped)

    Can anyone speculate or help me solve the problem? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    I could be wrong, but I think there's a fuse on the back of the radio ???

    That's what I'm hoping for, but I was praying someone could re-assure me that yes, there is in fact another fuse in the radio unit...

    There is another fuse on the back of the radio. Hope that's the fix...

    good good good... I was hoping there was one back there. Thanks for the info. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed as I check the other fuse.
