radio not working in 2002 ford escort?

its my buddys car he just bought used the orginal owner apparentlly had aftermarket gear installed amp's speakers ect they never replaced the head unit though but now since we have it the head unit dosent work wont turn on at all im thinking its probably a blown fuse on the bak of the radio but he thinks its wiring issues all the fuses in the car have been replaced with brand new fuses. except the radio's main fuse thats on the back of the radio it has a one piece head unit with ac controll and everthing built in all thoose controll's still work except the radio in my opion im leaning towards the fuse on the radio itself being blown any ideas?

    if it has the "football" shaped radio, the actual tuner in in the bask of the car. Which is probably why the factory radio was kept. The aftermarket dash kit replaces the factory heater controls also, which is why the dash kit and wiring harness is so expensive, and the previous owner probably didn't want to pay that much for it. The radio is 11 years old, and electronic, and probably is due to be replaced. You can check the fuses, but I think it's time to probably replace the radio..

    Good Luck!
