Default Replaced battery in 01 GS300 - Radio not powering on

I replaced my battery today, and now the radio isn't powering on.

I checked the Radio#2 fuse in the driver side kick panel but that looks fine. Everything else appears to be working including the key remote, dome lights, seats, steering wheel power, etc...

Is this possibly a security feature or is there another fuse I should be checking?

update - checked the radio 1 fuse under the hood and that is fine too. I'm at a loss as to why it's not powering on.

Is anything else not working? If not, then it looks like the perfect time to upgrade to a double din. Or check the classifieds or junk yards for a used one. Good luck

Actually as weird as this sounds, I just took a ride and my IPOD is working through my tape deck which is usually how I normally connect it. So, despite the radio display not lighting up and the radio (am/fm) not working, the tape deck is still working.

Also the clock which is part of the radio display is not working.

Maybe there's some other fuse I need to check which covers the radio and clock display? I wish it didn't get dark at 4:00PM in MA.

I think there is a dealer setting that could make you enter a security code to make the radio work. Do a search for a prior post. Check to see if power is supplied to the ACC and B+ terminal of the amp. Is this a ML?

I believe it is an ML. It doesn't show pioneer anywhere.
