Radio won't turn on! Can see time and load/unload CDs.
Truck is a 2006 F150 4x4.
A little background. I had an FM transmitter professionally installed in my truck a while back. About a week ago I removed it and used the power it was using to hardwire a phone charger. The phone charger didn't work (Had power but you can't use 12v power for a phone charger because it used 5v). Anyway, I left it connected until I got the right parts to make the charger work right. The radio has worked fine regardless up until a couple hours ago. I drove home from school listening to it, got the parts from the mail and then undid the hardwired phone charger connection and after I undid that, the radio no longer works. I can see and change the time (only if I press the Menu button, but it goes away after about 5 seconds) and load and unload CDs, but that's it. I'm not sure if it stopped working immediately after it undid it or what because I did not notice it wasn't working until 20 minutes or so into my other project.
I've checked #7, #31 and #21 fuses and there all fine.
I also called Ford but they don't even work on radios and they have to send them off so going to a Dealership is out of the question.
So I really need to get this problem fixed so I can start using my radio and charging my phone. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!
