I'm not positive but I think there is another fuse "in-line" behind the 
radio...I'd slide the unit out and check behind it for an "in-line" 
fuse....However, the fact that the stations ;ight up on the panel may not be 
a good sign....a fuse will most likely kill everything, not just the 
speakers....do you have the original radio instructions in the glove box?  
I'd check there too.

It may be time to upgrade to that CD player you always wanted <g>.
