Default stereo dead

Just got a 95 FLHT. Has a Sony cd/radio player with stock speakers. Played a cd for awhile and now it's dead, won't power on. Suspect a blown fuse.
where would that fuse be located?
If its behind the headlight, does the fairing need to be removed to get the light out?
Thanks

There's a side panel on the clutch side. Your fuses are located there.

I just took that cover off, saw no fuses anywhere. Just a few electrical connections. I'm thinking in the 95's it's behind the headlight?

can you help with this?
Are these inline fuses? If so, how are they removed from the rubber holders?
im thinking one of those fuses may be the issue?

Those are RCA plugs, not fuse holders. Those aren't your problem. Those are the output of the head unit that would connect to an amp. Keep lookin!

Yeah - The fuses are gonna be in the same area and look like the 5 amp fuse in the pic. look for a 10 amp fuse. The problem with fuses is something caused it to blow and that's the root cause of your real problem. If you don't track that issue down the fuse is just gonna blow again. Check all your power and ground connections from the radio to the amp before you replace the fuse.
