Default radio killing fuses nonstop!

I have a 2000 S that was in storage over the winter, I started it up over the weekend and noticed that my radio is completely dead, no flashing red light no code wanted...nothing. I then changed the 15 amp fuse and it immediately blew!!!

Anybody ever have this problem? I did a search and found that many times the accessory fuse was blown, but I dont think this is my situation.

Thanks for the help!

Which fuse? The stock radio has 2. It sounds like the accessory plug fuse. Do you have something plugged into the 12 volt plug?
