Default Dead Stereo? Fuse?

I've got a pretty effed up situation. So I let my sister borrow my 1991 Accord SE(OEM Stereo). She comes back telling me there was some wire(s) burning in my car. When i take a look at it the fm transmitter from my 10 disc cd changer(separate unit from stereo) it looks like it has been through a fire. I also had a noise filter that was hooked up to my stereo's power line and my amp's power cable. Now the cd changer will still turn on and stuff, the amplifier doesnt appear to be damaged, but the stereo will not turn on. When i try to take it out the connector on the back of the stereo wont come out. It is possible that the two may be melted on each other. I have a loc in my trunk that tells the antenna to detract when there is audio signal coming through. Every time i turn my car on the antenna goes up. Do stereos have fuses that you can replace? Or am i screwed? Please Help me!

check for fuses on the interior of the car
i don't know much about accords but my civic had one for the stereo.

also, check the fuse for the amp's power cable and on the amp itself.

i hope that helps some

i've checked all the fuses in the dash relay fuse box. all of them are fine. but i've realized that the cd changer under my seat runs off the same power wire as the stereo head unit does. and if the changer still powers on and everything, then there must be power going to the stereo. the question now is if there is a fuse in the head unit that may have protected the rest of it from frying. do you know if stereos usually have fuses?

sometimes they do in the back, but it would be worth it to check in the back
