Its a soldered-in fuse inside the head-unit AFAIK.

An easy way to repair it is to solder a wire from the stereo chassis to the RCA outer-ring. Fixes it.

You don't change the fuse, it's soldered on the board inside. You get someone who knows what they're doing to solder a new one in.

But you do what holdenboy said to test if that's the problem.

[edit-fixed]
Remove the head-unit and using a small section of wire touch one end to the chassis of the head-unit and the other end to the outside of the RCA socket

Ah not really Stone, i got mixed up......one end of the wire goes to the outer ring of the RCA plug and the other goes to the metal bracket the stereo screws to, lol.

Do this while the stereo is on and all RCAs are plugged in.

MAke sure you link the wire from the metal shell/chassis of the unit to the outside ring of the RCA sockets on the back of the head unit... As soon as you touch the wire, the buzzing should go away.
