2002 Porsche Boxster S Fuse in back of radio repeatedly blowing

[Dave1971]

My 2002 Boxster S keeps blowing the fuse in the rear of the radio. When I replace it the radio works. After turning the radio back on it blows the fuse. I want to replace the radio with a newer model of radio but those also have fuses in the back of them. My car has the Bose system with door speakers. I don't want to replace the radio if the problem with just blow fuses on the new unit. I have searched many threads but not have come across this problem (Fuse on back of radio repeatedly blowing. Any insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

As that fuse protects the power circuit in the radio itself, the radio is probably on its way out.  Perhaps time to accelerate your replacement plans.

Dave,

 

I have a cassette radio that I'd be glad to let you have.  I lost the code, but you can get that here.  If you'll email your address to me, I'll get it out soon.  a986dude@gmail.com
