No power to cd player not a bad wiring job..

I am completly stumbed....my cd player has worked fine for the past 2 years in my car with absolutely no problems....i installd a FM Sterio Modulator from best buy that i could hook up and play my ipod through seeing how it is an old deck. I had pulled my stereo out and spliced into the ground and the accessory wire of the cd player to install the modulator. Everything was fine and radio worked until i went to put my cd player back into my dash. Something grounded out (maybe the remote wire) possibly on the HVAC controls and made a spark...I then tried to turn on my cd player and no luck. I thought that i might have either blown the cd player...no fuse on the backside, blown the radio or accessory fuse, or the Scosche wiring adapter. I then checked all fuses all were good. I then preceded by taking my deck to best buy to see if they could get it to power on...it did. I then took out the wiring adapter and reconnected all the wires and tried again and failed. I am really hoping that i did not fry the stock wiring harness. Are there any other fuses that i might be missing except under the driverside dash??? Any suggestions on how to fix this problem???

All of this for a damn ipod.....lol

take a multimeter and connect the leads to the ground and power wires (not to the harness disconnect these from the harness) with the ignition in the run position you should have a reading of around 12.6 volts if not than power is not getting to the radio. a reading of less than 12.6 is acceptable just not ideal. just make sure that your not getting 0.
