So since your not real good at answering the questions posed I would like to hear about this short.
1) did the car run fine before you took the old head unit out? Yes it did –((
2) did you have to cut wires to make the new one fit? No – made a connector to mate with the existing
3) after installing the new Head unit did it power up? Yes and I was dressing up and tiring into the AMP – and stilled worked
4) after installing the new head unit did the car start and drive? Yes
5) How many times? Several times
6) When and how did you learn you had a short in the system? When I was dressing up a loose wire and it sparked against the head of the new radio- and it wouldn’t start
7) which fuse did you change when the head unit didn't work?- None couldn’t find a blown one
.........and this is for anyone who cannot read your reply. The type is too small and the color makes it worse.

I'm not sure what this means, dressing up and tiring does this mean finishing up and wiring or tying into?

There is a fuse on the back of the radio, not sure that helps, I doubt it.
I do not know when or how the the car stopped working. I am sure someone mentioned the RCM but ...........
Did it just stop?
I think you can forget about the radio and tell more, that means all details about the car quitting and what the symptoms were.
