no power to head unit

[koztek55]

hey guys, have had an after market headunit in my vx ss for a while now, all hooked up with the adaptor plugs, so no cut wires.

all of a sudden the headunit stopped working, thought i may have blown the headunit, hooked it direct to battery and it works fine, is there a fuse somewhere in the car that i may have blown, and if so where can i locate it??

drivers side dash panel underneath the steering wheel, fuse for radio and cigarette lighter should be pretty straight forward remove and replace.

Check under the steering column the panel pulls forward i think thats were the fuse is .
Also check with a multi meter at the plug if there is power or not. and if you getting ground.
There is a reason the fuse has blown
Check the aftermarket connector properly if there is no pins have come out while plugin it in.
And most importantly check if there is a short

As the guys said above, fuse under the steering wheel, just be sure to replace it with one of the same ampage.
