On the short trip home from work today, my wife said the single CD sound system in her 2006 Honda Accord made a loud noise of fairly short duration that sounded like static and then the system went silent. Neither the CD player or the radio produced any sound. No other symptom she remembers. I went out later, turned the key, and presto--all was well. (One of my two favorite repair techniques. The other--beat on the thing until it gives up and starts working again.) It was fun going back into the house and proclaiming I'd fixed it. The "oh--my hero" proclamations ended with a thud when I fessed up.
I can fix darn near anything in the house, but I know bupkis about cars, especially their electrical systems. (I'm assuming that an electrical issue is the likely culprit, but, as I said, I know zip.) The reincarnation put to rest (I think) a fuse issue. Any idea what it could be, or how to approach this by process of elimination or any other method if the problem recurs? If for no other reason, I'd like to be able to pretend I have a clue when I wind up at a repair shop.
Thanks,
