Help! 1998 Ford Explorer XLT

I accidently hit a bad bump in the road and my CD/radio/clock quit working. It was working fine and I was playing a CD at the time. It immediately stopped working when I hit this bump in the road.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Get a time machine, rewind back to just before the bump, and go around.

Id unplug it or pull the fuse and see if it resets, at the very least you will have just checked the connection in the process.

Hey!

I hate to appear stupid, but Being that I am a female and very clueless, where exactly is this particular fuse? Is it on the driver's side of the dashboard? Or is it under the hood on the driver's side? And also, which fues exactly? (I don't seem to have my owner's manual to tell me).
Thank you so much!

Under dash on the left? Sorry i dont have a 98 to look at. The fuse cover usually has a diagram to say what goes where.


Disconnect the battery for a few minutes?

It might have internal injuries, but sometimes they just need to reset.

Good luck. BTW is it doesnt fix itself on reset i would say get on eBay and get a stock replacement, or upgrade to aftermarket.
