Ok, do you have a test light ? Pull the unit out and check your power wires, and also make sure that your ground is good.

Check all the wires, there should be 1 constant 12v and another 12v with key on. If not check for blown fuse.

You can always run another wire from battery positive to the radio, jump the 2 positive wires from the radio into the 12v from battery to test the radio.

Put a new fuse in with the same rating and find out, make sure none of the tripped wires are touching ground or metal, that will cause a short and take out the fuse again.
