The car has a Denon head unit with what looks like a Crutchfield wiring kit, RCA cables and CD changer availability. The head unit stopped working after my mid pipe install, my friend touched the pos. cable to the battery, the alarm went off and I didn't think anything of it. I always disconnect the battery when I go down to school so the alarm doesn't drain it. After I got back in the car to drive home the radio wouldn't work. I've pulled the fuse (#11?) under the dash and it looked fine. I also pulled the head unit to see if there was a fuse in the back, but I didn't see anything. All other electrical components work, is there another fuse I'm missing?

There might be a fuse inline on the wiring harness for the deck.
Check for constant power between yellow + and black - @ the back of the deck.
Then check for switched power with key in either accy or run and check between red + and black - @ back of the deck.

When checking, make sure the ground you use is the deck's ground and not the kick panel or something so you can isolate the problem.

Does anything else not work in the car since this happened?

Good Luck.

usually the cig lighter and dome light are on the same fuse as the headunit. there is prob a fuse behind the deck or on the back of the headunit.
