Default kicking my *** for 3 days

several days ago i took my Sony radio out to disconnect my sound processor and the radio stop working after i reinstalled it.

man i spent 3 days tracing every power/ground wire, checking voltage reading on all the connectors, checking all the fuses inside out, but my Sony radio would not respond.

just when im about to give up on my radio i discovered that there was a fuse needed in this location and it was missing.
somehow the 10amp fuse must have fallen out, but thanks to the PDF file i found online otherwise i would not know that there is a fuse there also

May want to make sure that one of the slots the fuse goes into isn't broken or too lose, those are on almost every after market radio and they are not supposed to be loose (could cause intermittent problems with the radio going on and off)

yes, it's working with the fuse back in
but this is one of those simple fix that just drive you nuts b/c it makes you think it's something major
