Did you check the IOD fuse? It's the one with the black plastic clip on it.

there's 2 sets of fuses. one set is in the end of the dash - drivers side. the other group is under the hood, beside the battery in the power box.

is the radio stock or aftermarket. if stock, double check the radio and/or accy fuse in the end of the dash. if aftermarket, the problem could be anywhere, check fuses first and if nothing obvious, pull the radio and check how its wired up.
