I'll assume all pertinent fuses have been replaced, not just looked at.

Radio and tape player problems "may" be two separate issues, even if they are combined into one unit.

1. Has the radio and/or tape player "ever" worked since you've had it?

2. If they did, what have you done or modded since then?

3. If they didn't, did you check to see if you actually have speakers? (Maybe removed by previous owner...ha ha)

4. Is the volume turned up? (bigger ha ha)

5. Does it "click" when you turn it on? Do you get static or anything?

6. Is the power connection you checked actually "hot"? How did you check it?

7. Is it grounded?

I know some of these questions sound silly but I'm just trying to help you troubleshoot.

If the Radio lights up check the speaker wires.
