did you check the fuse first?

Did the radio fry it, or did you fry it putting the radio in?

Dunno where you heard that, but most people try to fix what they've broken rather than make things worse by hacking up stuff they don't understand. Do some proper troubleshooting first. Tell us exactly what you did and what the symptoms are. Make sure you check the ILLUM fuse before posting...

Also keep in mind that you should check the fuses with a meter. A fuse can be shot but not appear "broken" as you would think a blown fuse would. In your case, if it's a fuse, it will probably be obvious but if not double check it. A bad fuse, but not broken, has been the source of frustration for me in the past.
