Oops. What did I do??? Pioneer DEH-P7800MP

Was installing some of my old car audio stuff in my ride....head unit was working perfectly, but I realized I forgot to connect the power antenna wire. Went back in to fix it....and the yellow battery wire touched something (either the remote or a piece of metal in the dash) and a tiny spark flew.

So I hoped it wasn't a big deal, but now my HU won't power on! I checked the fuse on the yellow battery wire of the pioneer harness and it wasn't blown. Did I just kill my head unit?? I'm hoping that there is another fuse inside that can be replaced semi-easily. Can anyone confirm this?

Please let me know.....ty

Check your fuse panel. You popped one. Replace it. Lesson learned.

Thank you all. Fixed the problem by just replacing the fuse in the fuse panel. Thank God I didn't send in my working head unit in for repair and waste money.
