Blown Radio

[SHOntell]

Ok, I just got a Pioneer DEH-P6300. I was installing it and I didn't have any electrical tape so I thought I would hook up the wires and then go get some tape. Well I finished hooking it up and of course I just had to see the display so I turned it on real quick. And then it popped and went off. Now when I turn on the ACC the clock light comes on but not the numbers and the radio doesn't come on. Did I just fry my system or is it a blown fuse or something? Thanks.

the easiest way to check that is to disconnect the radio completely from the car, then put the red and yellow wires on the (+) terminal of your battery and the black groun to your body. It should opperate fine then, of course, if there is nothing wrong with it. Or, just use a test light and with the key off put it up to the yellow wire, then with the key on put it up to the red wire.

You could have blown the fuse at the back of the unit, my Pioneer deck has one. Its a 10 amp, right next to the plug.
