so i got a 00 civic and my deck stopped working that had only been in there for a few months so i pulled it out and what happened was the yellow 12v power wire had come untwisted so i wrapped it bak up and tested the radio and everything worked, so i decided to solder the wire but forgot to unplug the battery and as soon as i touched the wire with the soldering iron, it sparked.... so i chcked the fuse and sure enough it was popped so i put a new one in and the radio still wouldnt turn back on. so i thought i blew a capacitor in deck or something and bought a brand new deck and wired it all in and still no luck. i have an ohms meter and the yellow wire that says 12v on it is not getting any power when the key is on. is it possible i fried the actual wire or something like that? all fuses are replaced. if not, where should i take it to get looked at? a special mechanic shop or just anywhere?

 

check the fuses in the engine bay. there's a radio/backup fuse in there aswell as i think 1-2 under the dash.

 

are you sure?? i had checked in the bay and didnt see one, however i did change the one under the dash
