Default wiring issue

Tracing a previous owners cob job speaker wiring, a couple of wires shorted out behind the head liner. The car starts but no power to the radio and other areas. Checked the fuses inside and under the hood. Anybody have any suggestions?

Pull the radio out and ensure all the wires are connected properly. If its an aftermarket head you can download the schematics off of www.scosche.com and just do a search for your year model radio wiring harness for the Jeep's schematic. If everything is good check the fuse on the back of the radio if it is an aftermarket. If that doesnt help I dont know.

Solved the problem, found the fuse and properly spliced the wires in the head liner.
