Default Where is the fuse for the radio?

By accident, I crossed my wires positive to negative , got few sparks realized the issue and connected it right. However, now myGig radio is dead, like completely dead.
I am hoping its just the fuse, but I have no idea which one of those fuses are for the radio ?
Looked on the forum and on the google and still came out short.

The information on the inside of my TIPM cover says M12 is for the amp and radio.

M12? Hm, some of the "other" forum search returned M24 as the radio switch ?

Maybe they are different for different years. M24 on mine is the rear wiper.
Look at your TIPM cover.
I just rechecked: M12 it is, on mine.
The wiring diagram in the service manual says M12, too.

I didn't pull the fuse to check for sure, though. I will leave that up to you.

30 Amp Green
Amplifier (AMP)

I can't find any fuse on the box that would read radio?

Probably one in the same. Did that fuse check good or bad?

How does one check if fuse good or bad without replacing it with the new one?

M10 = Radio
M12 = Amp (if you have it)

I'd check both
