does your radio work without the key in? it should. you should pm auditech79 about this. i've never heard of this happening so he'll be one of the only persons to know

A higher rated fuse is not the answer! Fuses are rated differently, and blow for a reason. I'd have to guess it's a bad ground, and as much as I hate to draft auditech into it since he's bombarded on a full time basis, he'll probably have a good answer.
