I have a '73 stored in a garage and went to jump the battery because battery had died. Seems someone in the house put the jumper cables on backwards. My VDO volt gauge smoked before I knew something was wrong. Now my aftermarket radio will not work. Have not tried to pinpoint problem yet. What I wanted to know was if this kind of screwup will fry the radio for good or are there fusable links that will blow 1st? Thanks.

if you're lucky the radio line fuse (usually 1-2 amp) popped and your radio's OK. Had this happen on my Datsun truck at long term airport parking. They left the dome light on for a week and killed the battery. Then they connected the jumper cables backwards. That's when I found out there was a fuse on the radio itself that wasn't shown in the owners manual or the shop manual! Radio was fine.

Hope yours is too...check the in line fuse in the radio's hot lead.

Cheers

there are a couple of different fuses to check. 3,4, and 12.

Check to make sure the hazards work and your reverse lights work(if it is a stick). if they don't it could be number 6. Does the interior light come on? no? try number 2.

Hell, check all of them.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
