Unhappy 2000 1.8 keyless problem

I have a 2000 1.8. my problem is after my new radio was put in the fuse for radio memory and keyless blows. i tried bigger fuse and it still poped. i have the keyless box behind the rear seat unplugged and it is fine now but i have no keyless. i dont know what wire is power to the keyless box. if someone can tell me i will just run a new wire. thank you

if you pinched a wire while installing new radio, your prob won't go away.
sorry I've been in that position too many times. Go back and retace your steps,
the fuse for the keyless entry and radio memory didn't blow until you installed new radio

as i said its fine now but the keyless is not working. i know no wires are pinched. It seems to be more of a power draw issue. As it pops when the radio is on and unlock is pressed. sorry i was not very clear with my first post

is your keyless running off your radio fuse? cause if it seems like its drawing alot of power and is blowing fuses your keyless might be fryed now. like even if 1 spark happens it can short the keyless box and its basicly junk.
