hi! So to make it short I was putting in aftermarket rear speakers with an amplifier and I got it all worked up pulled the remote turn on wire to the radio and cut in to the dual brand radio to add the wire to turn on the amp, the wire I cut in to was the red(on the aftermaket harness) 12v that becomes live when the key becomes live, so I twisted them together(just to make sure that's the right one) and in the process of doing that and reaching for a terminal I tuched the wires to the base of the radio and now I have nothing, no power nothing.. I've checked fuses in the cab in the drivers side foot well and they where all good so I checked the one under the hood on the drivers side and the #6 radio fuse was blown put a new one in and I still have nothing to the radio? Is there another fuse box? Or an in line fuse? Every thing else works as it should just no radio? The truck is a 97 f150 and it's the XL package! If someone can give me a hand Thad be grate! Sorry if this is hard to read in trying to type it real fast on my lunch brake at work lol!
Does the Dual brand head unit have another fuse in the back where the wiring harness goes into it? Solid blue should be your remote amp turn on wire in the aftermarket harness. @Holder1336
When you replaced the fuse that blew, did it blow again? Check your the keyed 12v wire with a voltmeter to see if it's got power.
Looks like pullin' and checking fuses. Start with the under hood power distribution block then work your way back inside.
