How many fuses is there that powers the radio?? I checked the one on the interior fuse panel, but is there one in the fuse panel under the hood??

Check if the radio unit has a blown fuse-make sure the wiring connector is attached properly

At the radio connector, there must be 2 wires with battery voltage with ignition switch turned on, Light Green and Yellow.

With ignition switch off the Yellow wire should have battery voltage.
