Radio wiring ignition live dead?

Hi I'm new to this forum so I hope this is the right section I have a mk1 2004 focus 

Basically I've replaced the original head unit with an aftermarket and it was working fine then suddenly turned off I checked fuse and it's fine, after testing and having a fiddle it seems the ignition live cable is dead but the permanent live is fine? Any ideas? Is there a separate fuse?

 

I've wired it up using the permanent live but I'm worried I'll forget to turn off the head unit and drain the battery 

Thanks 

Tom

    I got the same problem, but also my display unit is a bit messed up now as it takes longer to load e.g.  temperature and petrol gauges take longer to move
