Default Radio wiring problems

So I drove down to the pasture to feed the horses, set my beer on the dash board, left the truck running an playing music. And as soon as I get out of my truck, my dog spills my beer... It leaked down into my radio and in my vents. Raido broke, truck smells like beer.

I put in a Nice new radio... But it won't power on. I Checked the fuzes and They were fine, but I'm not getting any power to the 12v constant. Does anyone have an idea of what it is??

Possibly, it's pretty tight in there I was hoping someone might know if there was a fuse-able link and where it might be

I actually had the same problem. The under dash fuses were good.but had no voltage. There is actually a under good fuse as well. Check that if you haven't already. I only found it thru wiring diagrams on all data

Wow I feel sooo stupid I can't believe that I didn't check the engine compartment fuse box. That was it, put in a new fuse and it works perfect
