I just bought a new-to-me Chevy Blazer with the knowledge that the radio was not in working condition. I thought it could be the old radio or something simple. I bought a new radio and bought the wires to connect it right and I am still getting no power to it. Where should I start to look for answers? I have looked at past posts about this same topic and they said to check the fuses first. That is ok. I don't know if it has a fuse box under the hood. Where would that be and where could I get the information to get that answered. They also said something about the ignition switch. I am clueless about this. What is this and what do I do about it and how can I eliminate that as a problem. Any replies would be helpful. Thanks

Caleb

On the old radio, I turned the power on and got "puh" sound through the speakers, but nothing else. On the old radio I saw that a LED light was on so I don't think it is a fuse. What could that sound mean. On the new radio, I get nothing out of it.
