I think most car radios have a fuse near the radio also. So I would check that fuse. And check all the fuses just to make sure. Depending on who installed the radio, maybe they hooked it up weird. Is the radio aftermarket or stock?

In the fuse panel under the dash by the drivers left knee. It will be a 20 AMP fuse.
