Yeah the rearview may have blown the fuse, check that, also if thats not it take it off and disconnect the power and use a volt meter to check if there is power coming to the unit if there is then the unit crapped out on ya

It should be on the driver side door when you open the door there is a Fuse panel underneath the cover which you need to pry open with a flat head screw driver

What type of wiring diagram ? The fuse diagram should be on the back of the panel that you just took off!
