radio wiring problem

[smug]

I am in process of changing radios on my car and long story short a wire touched something and sparked. The radio will not turn on and I checked fuses, the ground, switched power wire, and constant power wire. I have no power on my constant power wire and I need to know what fuse that is and what else is on that circuit. The fuse labeled radio in the glove box fuse box checked out and the fuses at the under hood fuse box tested good. It is weird because everything else on the car still seems to work except the radio. I am going to do some more checking tomorrow and it all else fail I can run a new constant wire with a inline fuse and call it a day.

Seems with a little bit of research that the constant orange wire goes from fuse 29 at the under hood box to the radio, dic, and hvac controls. I am 100% sure I checked that fuse and my dic still works. I will have to take another look tomorrow.

your checking for power and not just pulling and eyeballin fuses right?

if your wiring the radio to a pigtail that plugs intot he oem harness double check the pins and wires...we've all seen how bad a loose female can be

Yes I tested the fuses with a test light and I am thinking that I have a bad pin or something going on at the connector.

<----- dumbass

I was looking at a wire diagram for a 98 GP and my 01 with Bose is different. The 20 amp Bose amp fuse in the interior fuse box was blown giving my my problems.
