Most such devices have two power lines and one ground.  One of the 
power lines is unswitched and attaches directly to the battery (or to 
a wire coming from the battery).  This line feeds the clock and 
presumably an LCD or similar low power display.  The other power line 
usually attaches to a wire that is switched on or off with the 
accessories position of the ignition switch.  It powers the audio.  
If this wire has come loose you will have clock but no audio.  Or it 
is quite possible that your audio unit itself is blown.  But I'd 
check the power wires first.
