Default HELP.. Desperate from UK!!

Hi All..
I know that someone on here will know the answer to this rather simple question.
I have a 98 cherokee, the wires for the cd changer got chewed through by my dog!!
I have had these repaired, and the cd changer works, the head unit works, but there is no sound from the speakers!
At the same time as the 'dog chew' the electric aerial stopped working. The question is.. where is the fuse for the aerial? could it be a fuse in the back of the head unit?
Its picking up radio stations, and automatically changes to the correct time, so its actually still ok. You can hear the cd changer changing the cds, so thats ok.
I have checked all the fuses in both the fuse boxes. Weirdly there is nothing wrong with some fuses but there is no power to them??
I am completely stumped..

ok, that should plug in along with the cd changer connections, it acts like an fm modulator.. i dont know if there is a fuse but i know theres more than one connection. Theres also one next to the fuse panel on passanger floor board.

Factory head unit??

Yes, all standard, factory fitted. I know there is the 2 fuse boxes, and I have checked all of them. What is weird is some of those fuses dont seem to do anything. And I dont have a list of what fuses do what for what. So I have come to a stop in my examinations.. lol
