Default Audio Help

So I was hooking up my backup camera, decided to use the radio (aftermarket) as my power/ground. I must have done something wrong because now my radio doesn't work . I've checked all the fuses inside and out, the fuse on the radio as well. I am not getting power to my yellow (constant) and black (ground). any suggestions?

Answered in the audio section. No need for two threads. Which one do you want to leave open?

Sorry for the double, didn't know there was a specific audio section. Guess this one since the other one is closed.


Back on topic. I have put everything back to the way it was, but still no go. I still feel it has to be a fuse as well, but I have checked all of them.

Both fuse boxes? One under the hood too?

yup, fuse behind head unit, fuses at side of instrument cluster, and fuses under hood.


I have power on the red wire (ignition) but I didn't mess with it. I wonder if theres an inline fuse on the constant somewhere I cant see.

I would look for the inline fuse. That was my first thought.

Just want to update. Issue has been fixed

I noticed last night as it was getting dark that my interior lights werent working. I started googling and found out both the radio and lights use the I.O.D. fuse in the cab. I checked it and it was blown.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Right, typical newb :-) it should be labelled "hey idiot, check this fuse if your radio doesn't work". Who the heck knows what an iod fuse is! And after fighting 5 minutes with pliers I finally got the black platic off it to check it :-)

Again, thanks for your help and patience.
