Unhappy Hit bump in road - radio stopped working

I have a 99 TL and while driving down the road the other day, I hit a large bump and the radio turned off. I tried turning it back on, but nothing. Replaced the fuse, but still nothing. Any suggestions before I take it in to the dealer to get it checked out?

Did the fuse burn?
If you're savvy with electrical try checking for power to the unit. I can't remember which wire is power.

The fuse looked more burnt than blown when I pulled it. I'm not too savvy at all but wanted to eliminate all my easy options before taking it to the dealership...

If it looked burnt then it's more than likely blown. Try replacing the fuse 1st. Go to a local auto shop, take in the fuse, and they'll get you the exact fuse.

I did replace the fuse. Nothing. Thinking the bump may have knocked a wire loose, but I don't know where to start looking.

... and diagnosing electrical problems at the dealership can be expensive!
