There are two fuses, one is the permanent feed marked back-up or memory, that will be in a fusebox under the hood. The accessory fuse is in the inside fusebox.

Have you used a volt meter to see which of the 2 power wires have no voltage on them. The Radios yellow wire should have 12 volts on it at all times. The Red wire should have 12 volts only when the key is in the on or the acc position. Some aftermarket radios have fuses mounted in a manner that you can not see the fuse. The fuse may be inserted under a tab of the wiring harness. Unplug the harness from the back of the radio and look for a fuse under it.

Has your vehicle either been jump started or jump started another vehicle? Kenwood units always used to blow their chassis fuses (the one Mr. I is referring to above), during that procedure.
