2 problems
Ok the first problem is every time I turn the motor on the speakers in the car buzz and you have to turn the volume up to over ride it, but when you put the car in the second position the speakers work fine does anyone know what this might be?
Also every time I turn the A/C on the Radiator Fan/Antenna fuse blows does anyone know what causes this also?

Sounds to me like your problems are connected, like maybe one of your radio wires has grounded itself on something or is touching one of the other wires, like the a/c wire or something. Check your connections.

If you have an exposed wire touching the body or a bolt, it's a short. Check the wiring in the dash for the stereo and speakers, check the wiring in the dash and engine bay for the AC.

Since the fuse is dead, check the resistance from the far side of the fuse to ground. I'll bet it's around 0 ohms, meaning the wire leading out of the fuse is grounded.

Can some one find out for me the correct Amp fuse for the Radiator Fan/Antenna because I have 16 in there but the one I pulled out was a 25 ?
