You car's problem must be contagious-I have the same thing going on in my
'67 GTV but the fuse blows each time. On my car the blown fuse also kills the
heater fan and stop lights. It probably also knocks out the wipers, but I
haven't checked.

Subject: [alfa] radio shorting out
There's a weird new phenomenon with my '94 Spider, and I'm hoping someone can
ffer a bit of advice. Lately, when the radio is playing - and I turn on one
f my turn signals, the whole electrical circuit dies. The radio quits, and
he turn signals won't work.
Naturally, I checked the fuse circuit diagram and found a couple of things -
irst - the fuse controlling the radio should be a 7.5, but instead, I found a
0 amp fuse. Since this is an aftermarket stereo, I decided whoever installed
he new radio (and security system) must have upped the amperage.
But the weird thing is - the fuse isn't blown. It's still fine, the car radio
nd turn signals just don't work. So - any suggestions? Wiring I should check?
f I am looking at my manual correctly, these two things aren't even on the
ame circuit, so I can't imagine why one impacts the other.
Can anyone give me a little advice or direct me where to look under my hood?
t's a good thing I'm small - inspecting that fuse box under my dash isn't for
imps!
