So i was recently driving and I had my ipod connected to a monster audio FM transmitter when it lost power and the music stopped... i examined it more closely and the cigarette outlet itself was very loose(something i had not noticed before).... so i made a mental note to check on that when I got back home.... I proceeded to put in a CD because i still wanted some music, and that played well for another 5-10 minutes when the car stereo shut off!!!
i was flabberghasted!
What is wierd is that the stereo doesn't turn on, or anything... but when i press the CD eject button it spat out my CD and then turned off again... now if i press the eject button, the screen just lights up blue (completely blank)
I think this is a fuse, but does anyone know where the fuses are? (im driving a 1997 Honda accord, 4dr)
THANK YOU!

The fuse amperage me be two low to run everything and causes it to blow. If you say the lighter is loose, there may be a ground issue. The body of the lighter (behind the console) should have a ground tab on it with a wire going to ground. Usually the radio and lighter are all on the "accessory" fuse. The CD ejects because of a circuit in the radio that is connected to a constant 12V (ignition off) wire to run things like power antennas and ejecting CDs after the ignition is switched off. Hope this helps

Look in the owners manual and they should have a diagram. The fuse panel cover may also have a breakdown of the fuses and the extra fuses may even be included in the panel. I know that Ford does this, along with having a fuse puller bilt in the panel door also.

Get out the owners manual and look at the fuse circuit, sometimes there is a diagram on the fuse cover that will guide you to the correct circuit. Or take it back to the repair shop and have them fix, they should do this for free if worked before the accident.
