Hi I was trying to install my new radio when the 12v wire sparked against the radio antenna. I now have no power to the new radio or the old radio. I tried replacing the fuse and that didn't work. What should I do now?

Is there power at the fuse you replaced? Did you replace right fuse?

Yes because the cigaret lighter has power and all the lights work on the radio for the buttons but now sound or power on the screen

Is this custom install where you stripped/attached wires from original plugs to install?

No I used a wiring harness from the store and the 12v constant wire wasn't covered and when testing I didn't see it against the radio antenna and it sparked. I tried putting the original radio back in to see if that works and no power to that either so I'm lost I'm hoping it's a fuse

What exactly is not working? Gauge lights go thru dimming module which is transistor circuit.
