I redid my radio with blue LED's. Everything was working perfect except one. I was trying to get a look to see what was going on and slipped. All of my radio display went out, clock and every LED that was working. What could I have done, I checked my radio fuse, bottom right in the cabin fusebox and it looked fine. COuld I have blown the whole board? I need some help quick!!!
*edit* Thanks
*edit2* My clock display flashes on if I start the car and then turn it off, does that mean I didn't blow the whole board???

yeah me too, update, the clock display works, changes stations etc etc etc. If the whole board was blown would I be able to use that. Is it possible to just blow every LED at the same time?

I took a couple LED's out and tested them and they are still working. So it isn't a fuse (I dont think) and the LED's are functional. Are the lights and radio display on seperate sets of circuits? if they are would it be possible to create a connection between the two and power the LED's from the other circuit (all they need is power right?) I really dont want to get a new HU. I need some help

Did you actually test the fuses (or replace with known good ones)? It's not unusual for fuses to look okay but be blown. There are four separate power sources for the radio that do different things - accessory (RAP) power is the main power, battery power for the memory, parking light power to turn on the lights, and dimmer power to control the brightness. Since the lights are working the two fuses you should test are RADIO and POWER ACCY.

Well I wasnt really able to test every fuse, but I checked some things in the car that run off of the same fuse (according to the manual) and they all worked. My steering controls, my gauges, my dimmer. I am really confused as to what could have happened that allowed my clock and such to sork but no LED's would light on the board.
