I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 single cab. We pulled the factory radio unit out but apparently forgot to disconnect the battery. We went to hook up the new head unit and there was not any power to the unit. We hooked the old unit back up and still no power. I checked the fuse box under the hood and none of the fuses are blown. Is there a fuse somewhere else like an inline fuse or a fuse box in the cab of the truck? Please help me because we are finishing this install in the morning!! Thank you!

hello im having the SAME PROBLEM!!! i have used a tester light and everything and i dont have a clue on what happened! have you figured it out yet?? i would really like some help on this!
I was installing my stereo a couple of weeks ago and I (like a dummy) didn't disconnect the battery. I found out I blew a fuse in the fuse box. I looked it up and it was the I.O.D fuse. Ignition Off Draw. I believe it was a 20 amp fuse. When you open the lid on the fuse box it should be the one in the upper right hand side.
If you guys have not done it yet, you need to take a meter and check for voltage (with ign on) at the radios harness. After verifying no voltage it there then take the meter and do continuity checks on all your fuses in the panel.
