Dash radio died

Hopefully just a power issue?
Our in dash magnadyne is completely dead. No light! Wiring diagram shows a "constant" and a "switched" 12 volt power. I checked both fuses (one in the front run bay, second in the back closet) and they are good. There is a radio switch in the dash that kills the light in the radio when off. Assume the constant for the memory is different since the dash switch doesn't lose the memory.

Wiring diagram seems to indicate an inline fuse, can't find it.

Will pull dash panels to access the radio tomorrow, any tips welcome.

Is there actually 12 volt power to both fuses? Also check for an in-line fuse close to the radio, on the radio harness.

Our's has a fuse located right at the coach battery presumably so that when all the battery disconnect switches are off this will still provide a direct link to a 12V source and therefore maintain the memory. I know this because I removed this fuse once and the radio went dumb.
