[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5468534, member: 584344"] It's not really a "fuse". The name "Pico Fuse" is a misnomer... it's actually a micro-resistor that blows. It kind of acts like a fuse, but it isn't one. The ultimate sign of a blown "pico fuse" is when there is engine noise even when volume == 0, and the drone is a constant volume at all volumes of the head unit. As stated in the previous explanation, it's not actually a "fuse", it's a micro-resistor. If you really want to fix it yourself, get your DMM, use the continuity setting, and go around... you should hear a beep on all the things that are still connected, when you find the pico fuse, it won't beep. It should be small, and in the back of the unit toward the pre-outs. [I]You're [/I]wrong... The Micro-Resistors have been used on Pioneer units since I believe maybe '04 and on? I'm not really sure. They've been using them for a LONG time (considering how fast technology moves). It's on the board, it's not inline with the ACC wire. That would be silly. And, you're one to talk, Seth. You don't really have amazing installs under your belt. [/QUOTE]
