they rebuild Porsche amps. They may be able to help with where the fuses are too.
Will give them a shot. Thank you!

Blew the AMP in an Audi Q7. Water somehow got into the area where the AMP was. Anyway it was a $1000 part not including install. GL

Cheers to mattyf!!
On his recommendation I called Becker Autosound to troubleshoot over the phone and they alerted me to a 10 amp fuse on the back of the radio. I pulled the stereo and sure enough, it was blown. Replaced that fuse and I now have my stereo back. Huge relief, I was thinking I was going to have to pay thousands to replace it.

I researched this problem for weeks and nobody said there was a fuse on the back of the stereo.

I hope this helps someone else.

Can you please tell us how did you remove the radio? Any special tools for this? Thanks.

I did the same thing to my little Mazda Miata one "dark and stormy night." It blew the main fuse which cost me $500 to replace. I always keep a flashlight or headlamp handy now.
