Being the radios have a constant hot that feeds the presets and clock and that the radio was probably on when you jumped the battery. Makes it real easy to snap the fuse as the other users suggested.


Try to make sure everything is off when jumping a battery. Plus put your ground on the engine block if possible. As sadly so many people have a bad habit of reversing the leads thus causing major issues on their rigs.

The jump boxes that are available today are probably a lot safer to start a vehicle with then actually using jumper cables.


I have known people jumping newer vehicles and actually burning electronics and they didn't reverse the cables either.

So just wanted to add some information for future readers.
