Radio won't turn on
Hi everyone,
My 2006 EX-L Honda Accord Radio (with built-in xm satellite radio) does not work AT ALL.
Absolutely NOTHING comes on when i put the keys in the ignition and turn the engine on. I am very very worried. This occurred as a result of me trying to install a GTA car kit for my iPod touch onto the auxillary outlet of the radio.
I think I might have found the auxillary outlet under the radio, but it was blocked by a tightly fitted metal plate. I wanted to remove the radio, but the underlying two screws beneath the stereo were too tight for me to remove. So I tried to pry open the metal plate with a screwdriver, but then I saw a bright spark for a split second. I became worried and tried to turn on the stereo, and that's when I realized that I might have busted it.
However, my A/C still works, but I see no display.
Should I get a new fuse for the radio? Should I reset the radio fuse in the car's fuse box?
I am very very concerned about this. Please help!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!

looks like this.
AC works just fine as indicated by the green and orange lights.
display not coming up.
radio not working
CD not working.
should i disconnect the cables from the battery and re-connect them?
or should i open up the fuse box and remove/insert fuses?
thanks

That fuse that is labeled in redbull's post is the one you need to pull. Use a small pair of needle nose pliers to pull it out.
You look at the metal wire inside to see if it burned out.
Here is a pic of two blown fuses I found on the web. The one on the right is blown too. A good fuse will be a continuous piece of metal.
