Re: power to radio but wont turn on

if you have power to it only other thing to check is the ground. Make sure you have a good ground and power. If it doesnt turn on then check the fuse on the back of it and in the fuse box. If still wont turn on the radio took a crap. Good luck man.

Re: power to radio but wont turn on

I would take the radio back out and twist the red a yellow wires together(ignition and constant) and hook it up to the battery to see if it comes on. If it dosent, then it crapped out.
