make sure the power is off when installing a new fuse

The power was off. It's an aftermarket headunit...and I have not checked the ground. I'll do that tomorrow, any other ideas?

It could be a short. Check the positive wires to make sure they are not touching any ground points.

Take your radio out with the harrness. (if you used one) I bet the power wire is touching ground or a ground wire. If you take the plug off the radio but leave the harness still in and the short is gone it could be the radio unit. Also make sure when the radio is in place none of the wires are against a sharp edge.
