The first thing you do is open the owner’s manual

Find the section that shows the fuse box location

Now use a test light to check if the fuses are good

@Gw2011 is the radio difficult to remove?

You could check if the radio is getting power

Recheck the I.O.D. fuse (ignition off draw) in the under hood fuse box. This is the one with the black plastic holder, be sure it is fully seated. It is designed to be pulled up for periods of storeage, it will stop power to the interior lights and radio.
