Radio power source?

Radio power source?
Question - On my '89 XJ6, I had a factory radio that had cut out a couple times (no power), but then it just started working ago. I wasn't overly concerned at the time, but I just put a new head unit it, and it was running fine for a week, then it just shut off... No power.
I checked the fuse and the fuse looks good (it's #10 on the passenger side, a 20 amp fuse that's also tied to the sunroof and a few other things, which still work ok. Before I start tearing the dash apart again, is there anything else to check into?
I believe there was a post a while back regarding an aux power relay, but wasn't sure if that applied to the '89s or just the later models...
Thanks!

All set... there was a 1 amp fuse in the radio harness itself that was part of the original jag radio ... Perhaps I should have pulled that, as the radio has its own fuse built into the back of the unit. I'll keep an eye on it. New radio is a bit more powerful (to say the least) so it may be drawing a bit more current than the factory one...
