I was just trying to install my Panasonic Sirius tuner today...well, I had a brain fart. I forgot to disconnect the power from the battery before beginning.

I unhooked the yellow (12v power wire) from my head unit, and when I did, the wire coming from the car (not the head unit.. the live wire from the car!) hit a piece of metal and sparked. Well, when I hooked it back up, my head unit was dead. Obviously this couldn't have blown my head unit because it wasn't hooked up to the power. Also, I cant find the fuse for the radio! I've looked in both fuse compartments, and none of them are labeled as radio. I've even tried pulling them all out, but I don't see any blown ones (there were 2 or 3 I couldnt manage to pull out yet).

If I take a volt meter and stick it on the live wire from the car, it should have power if the fuse is not blown, correct?

Any suggestions for finding this fuse? 2000 Toyota 4-Runner SR5 4wd

Thanks for any help!
