reading towards the back of the owner's manual will point you to the correct fuse.

Default NO power to the radio :(

So i messed something up installing my fog lights i tried running the switch power wire for the fogs to the radios power cable worked for a bit but then the radio stopped working. The oem radio now and double din that i have are both not working because i am not getting any power to it. i checked all the fuses and the ones that were blown i swapped out and i am still not getting any power. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
thanks i appreciate it alot.

radio is usually your ACC fuse under the steering wheel, I drove around for 6 months till someone on here told me that was the fuse

Peek your head under the foot well on the driver side. Your radio fuse is also your cigarette fuse. The fuse should be a ten amp if I believe labeled CIG.

so there were blown fuses...
you check those fuses again? they probably blew again.

you didn't fix the problem by replacing the fuses... since you didn't fix the reason why they blew in the first place.

you must have installed the fogs with the battery connected right?

I have no more solutions, I thought it would abeen the ACC. it could just be the radio itself that died out.
