My Z is a base model and the head unit was replaced a couple years ago with a Pioneer avh-x2500bt.

When I did it originally, the wiring harness was a mess so I wanted to clean it up a bit and also restore the steering wheel controls.

Anyway, I was trying program the Axxess aswc-1 and during testing had the ground wire exposed.

I accidentally touched the ground wire to the head unit case and it shorted.

Now it doesn't turn back on, and when testing voltages the switched power, wire (RED) is not getting any power when ignition is on.

I checked all the fuses in the fusebox in the battery well and next to the front-right airbox. No fuse seems to be blown.

Head unit powers up ok when fed constant 12v power, so it's not a problem with the head unit.

Any insight would be awesome, thanks!
