Where is the radio fuse?

I just replaced the leisure battery. Since then, the radio doesn't work. Without going through fusees one-by-one, don't know where to start. Can anyone tell me, or point to a diagram that should help? I bought the camper recently, with a modern replacement cd/radio.

If it's a modern CD player there's probably a 10 amp fuse built into the back of the unit or in the loom behind it.

Brilliant Boxy, I think that's it. The normal no. 3 fuse (for radio, lights, etc) is ok. Therefore it must be a fuse behind the radio. But now I need those bloody steel strips for pulling the radio unit out!

Chopped & bent wire coat hanger also works.

does it need to have a code after being disconnected?

Can usually get at the back through the ash tray hole.
Most probably left a wire off the leisure battery and someone had rewired the radio to run of it. (Or blown a fuse that end whilst messing about there.)

Excellent. Finally all sorted after a lot of fiddling. Not having the removal keys, I fiddled about with knives. Could not quite get it out. But with advice to lift up the ash tray. Perfect, got it out. Found the 10A fuse. Not the same physical size as any of my spares, so had to go out and buy it. But worked in the end.

Thanks to all.
