Radio Trouble After Install

Hi guys,
I recently finished running the wiring for my system I've been working on.
Today, I hooked up the power wire & fuse holder to battery. After that, my radio display & ac controls stopped functioning. Both cigarette lighters and also my power mirrors stopped working also. All help is appreciated!

Focus: How do I regain power to radio,, lighters, mirrors & ac controls?

Disconnect the amp and replace the fuse for the radio.

Check every single cable for a short or incorrect connection before you reconnect your amps. Sounds like you have a wire crossed and it popped the fuse for the head unit.

I've already checked the fuse labeled "audio system" and it's fine.
The amp is not hooked up, the power wire is in the trunk disconnected.

check ALL the fuses... sounds like an acc fuse or something.. and find the short that caused it.

if you've got the power wire just sitting in the trunk, it may have touched something back there that caused the short. Make sure you wire up power wire or have it capped off so it doesn't touch random things and short.

fuses labeled "radio" in cars are only for accessary. you have a constant that is probobably connect with something else that supplies power. like wicked said check ALL your fuses.
