I'm pretty sure this is not the right forum to ask, but I thought I'd give it a try. In my Vanagon, I have an old school factory Honda Civic AM/FM Cassette stereo; bought on eBay for $15 about 15 years ago. Love it!!! On recent cross-country trip, it just quit working. I've done a wonderful job of rewiring and fusing Constant 12VDC and Switched 12VDC and a dedicated ground to radio. It now works, radio performs normally! But if I raise volume a little bit, the fuse to Radio Station Memory blows. Consistently. Now....I only have 1 Amp fuses to both the radio Power and the radio Memory; perhaps these are a bit too low. Can't figure out why raising volume blows Memory fuse. Do any of you guys have a recommendation for fuse values for Constant 12VDC to radio Memory? I just ordered a kit of fuses from Amazon....starting at 1 Amp, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, then 7.5...and then going into higher values. My basic plan is to start low, test, and gradually creep my way upward.
