help with a electric issue

hey all,
I was working on rewiring my hu and all of a sudden the power went off. (I had the car running because i wanted to eliminate the hissing noise that came from wiring)
Car still runs but I'm not geting any power to the hu. First I thought something went wrong with the hu but i noticed my clock went off too.
Could this be a blown fuse? Everything else works but the hu and wideband that uses the same power from the radio harness.
If its the fuse, where can i locate the fuse box for the clock and radio harness?

Or, can this be something else?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Checking electrical with a live power source, it very well could be a fuse. Check the fuse box by the drivers left knee and see what those fuses look like. I'd check the ones under the hood if those look fine.

I'd also recommend at LEAST not doing this while the car is running, and you should certainly disconnect your battery as well.

Clock and HU are on the same fuse to my knowledge.

And I've done plenty of vehicle wiring with power on and never blown a fuse from it, you just have to be careful enough to not ground things out.

Or take the 90 seconds required to pull the negative cable and not worry.
