There should be one in the fuse box. Could be a wiring issue. Genital Motors made s**t real difficult 04+. most everything has 12v all the time, even with the key off. They don't have switches like a normal vehicle that turn power to the radio off and on when turn on the ignition switch off or on. They run off of resistance. Less voltage to a certain component, then the computer deciphers the voltage difference to figure out what you want it to do. It's a nightmare. If the fuses are good, take it too a REPUTABLE audio shop that knows what they are doing. The last time I intsalled a CD player in a 04+ gp, I had to get my power source from the HVAC controls. Yeah, it's F'd up. Something was wrong with the wiring. You normally could go to the fuse panel and tap into the radio fuse which only gets power when you turn the key on or to acc. Now it has power all the time, well this one was messed up so there wasn't any power to it at all. You might have a wiring issue and need to get the 12v from a different source.
