does the car have a factory installed amp? factory radio or aftermarket?

I have blown a fuse on an aftermarket radio before...
also had a customer with an impala (i work at a chevy dealer) where there was a water leak that got onto wiring under the carpet and it fried the factory amp and no audio



just sayin...

Mother in laws radio does the same thing. Button lights come on, radio it's self works. But the screen does not. Only thing to do is replace the stereo.
