my radio and clock don't work!!!!!!!!!!
 
I recently installed a new head unit. I forgot to disconnect the neg. battery cable and as I was snipping the wires from my old unit my antenna suddenly went up a couple inches and stopped. My keys weren't in or anything. I finished the install thinking nothing of it. When I tried to test the unit is did absolutely nothing and my clock above the dash was also blank. I checked the radio fuse under the change dish, but it was fine. Any insight into this problem would be great. Thanks!!!!!!:D

I had a problem very similar to this lately when I installed my new head unit and a bared wire caused *3* fuses to blow. Here were the three that caused my radio and clock (and gauge lights!) to not work:

Underdash fusebox: radio fuse, instrument fuse

Underhood fusebox: "Backup" fuse.

I don't remember the exact amperages of these fuses, it will be easy to check... but the backup fuse until the hood was the one that restored the clock and radio. Hope this helps!

I finally got some tips to just look under the hood. I had forgot about the other fuse box. I took a look at the clock fuse, and it was blown. I changed it and everything is ok now. Thanks for your reply.

Good to hear, man... glad everything is working.
