What style of fuse is it?

the MAXI type. not the round ones the regular ones with the 2 tips.

I am asking because I am trying to install a system using the factory HU and i am not getting any sound. The factory's am power wire and ground touched each other( my mistake not to discon the batt) and blew a fuse. I checked and saw the blown fuse. I replaced it but i am not getting any sound from the speakers. I checked all the fuse(not only radio) and i see nothing burnt or melted.

I'd check over the whole fuse to see if you can see a break ANYWHERE in it. If you can't see anything, i would try another fuse.

Hmmm, sounds like you MAY have toasted the internal amp.
