Is your radio stock or aftermarket? If aftermarket did you check the back of the radio for a fuse? Check the fusible links under the hood too. I'm not sure what all the fusibles go to so the radio maybe on one.

If you've got a haynes or chiltons I would start tracing the wiring diagrams out and see where the visors and radio wiring intersects. Sorry I couldn't help.
