[megatron]

i have a general A.P. hill cb radio is makes my third fuse
i'm using an adapter to plug in my ac adapter, i don't know where the fuse box is in my 2012 chevy malibu

Hmm, which fuse are you talking about? The simplest general answer is that the current draw is too high. That could be for several reasons, one of them being an incorrectly made connection.

it's the one where the power cord is when you buy the radio

thanks

Actually, if you look through your own we'd manual,it should show you where to look

What size fuse do you have in the fuse holder?
What size fuse does the owners manual say should be in there?
Have you had any work done to the radio?
Did this just start happening out of the blue with no other symptoms?

megatron,

we've been through this before bro, you've got to provide more details in your posts when you are asking for help.

tell us EXACTLY what radio, which cords, which adapters, and where in the vehicle you are trying to hook them up to.

your post may take a while to write, but you will get much better help this way.
