Default Stereo + Dash clock quit after bump

Hey there don't know how to change my signature but my ride is
a 1989 Honda Accord LX 4 door I switched the stock deck to a new pioneer cd deck and was installed properly no problems then a few months later I went over a railroad track (a few times a day usually) and my stereo power was out and so was my dash clock which previously worked fine. all fuses are still good, same with visible wires
my question is, is there other wires that could come loose(maaybe not visible) that would make my clock and stereo both die from a bump

In short: yes.
Have you pulled the deck yet?

I stuck "something" in your signature.

As stated, pull the radio - not hard at all on these - and verify you are getting voltage when the key is on, if not we can start working back.

Not sure what pulling the deck/radio means like i had the deck in but took it out a bit after the electric failed, is there someway i can pinpoint the problem or get to the internals in a safe manner without spending 120+ just to have someone look at it.
how do i test voltage like hook a meter to a certain wire?

Yes there is a fuse you can check....then with a test light or volt meter you can check some wires.

I have to ask, was the install done with an adapter or was this a cut and splice into the factory wires?

Push the "button" on the clock and see if it tells the time? You can push the plastic piece to the right - kind of at the top - or pull it down and press the little black button/stub at the top with you finger.

Double check the #2 10amp fuse in the drivers under dash fuse box.
