Fuses are always (should be) near the power source. Locate your fuse block - it'll either be "in" the fuse block or it will be an inline fuse near the fuse block.

I didn't install that Garmin, though... so it ultimately depends on who installed it. Fuse blocks are often behind/under the dash.

Garmin usually has an in-line fuse in its power supply cord, not too far from where it connects to Power. That will be there unless an outfitter substituted a fuse of similar capacity on a panel or another place.

Put a volt meter on the connector at the unit. See if the unit died or no power to the unit. As WSpliter said usually a inline fuse but could have moved to a panel or fuse block.
