I was attempting to locate a short in one of my speaker wires and accidently (& stupidly) hit an exposed wire against metal. This seem to have shorted our something in the wiring. The antenna went down and I lost power in both the radio and the clock. I checked the radio fuse and it is fine. I check the car fuse for the radio and it is fine. If I push the button on the clock the clock comes on, but the clock and the radio will not come on when I turn the car on. Is there a switch that controls power from the ignition switch to the radio? Any hidden fuses along the circuit? An ideas? Any help greatly appreciate.

thanks
Mike

 

Found the problem, but thought I woul share it in case someone else has such a simple problem. I found a reference to a "backup fuse" and then found the 2nd radio "backup fuse" under the hood.

I come from a family of idiots. It is not my fault

 

i just saw your question, i was gonna say check under the hood, its happened to me a few times.
