Default 2008 Accord - Can't find radio fuse

I recently jump started my car with the radio on, not the smartest move I know, but neither was leaving the map light on for 2 days.

So now I have no radio, its a 2008 Accord Coupe V6 without Nav but with premium radio. I am waiting for a call back from the dealer but am trying to solve this issue in the meantime.

What are the chances my radio is fried? ANd where is the fuse that controls it?

I appreciate all your help in advance

Is it only the radio?

Check the No. 15 (10A) fuse located in the under hood fuse box.

Usually the fuse blows first.

Seems to be only the radio, I am going to start it and test everything out in a bit. I ended up needing a battery so had to get that done.

That 10A fuse is ok

In the circuit is the No. 3-8 (50A) fuse that is part of the combined fuse. See attached pic. on how to check.

Also, for your V6, take a look at No. 19 (7.5A).

After calling 3 dealerships and pulling half the fuses to check them, I charged the battery and now everything works!

Glad to hear that it was only the battery.

To remove the combined fuse (aka multi block fuse), the one bolt is removed, then it is pulled out. It is a little tough to pull out though.

I tried the information listed below and all the fuses are fine. Still no sound coming out of speakers, yet the radio display comes on as if the radio is working properly. Any other suggestions.

Is your car the same year? Also can we assume this is a stock/factory set up?
