My kid stuck some pennies in the tape deck of my radio. I fished them out but not before someting shorted. With the radio still in I replaced the fuse but it blew immediately. I then pulled the radio and unhooked the harnesses and replaced the fuse. It blew immediately. Any suggestions as to what to try next. I think it may have fried a wire somewhere. But looking at all those wires and finding where they go is next to impossible. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

You might have to dissassemble the unit. Sound as if there's still a penny lodge in there. You may have to replace the unit all together.

Taught your kid a penny saved is a penny earned did you..... I also think that some disassembly of the unit is in order to ensure that there is nothing else shorting across the circuit board on the inside.
