Think I blew the fuse

I've been trying to install my new cd player today, but not having alot of sucess. Anywayz, I bought a wiring harness and I still can't get any power, or turn on my new head unit. But I can still turn on the old one. Any thoughts, what fuse should i check, the acessories right?

Much thanks in advance.

thers usually a fuse on the red wire going to the radio, or in the back of the radio. Try taking the power (usually red) and memory (usually black) wires, and twist them together and put them on the + side of your battery. Take the ground (black) wire to your negative side of your battery. If it turns on then theres no fuse blown on your head unit. If not, then gotta go huntin.
