Radio Problems

Hey everyone; seem to be having some radio problems Anyway, to begin with, I had a Pioneer HU in my car. I still had the stock radio, and I wanted to be sure the stock one still worked right before I put it away. So, I took out my Pioneer, and installed my stock radio for a night to let it work for a while. Well, this morning, I took apart the stock radio to see why it kept grinding and spitting out my tapes. When I pulled the radio out, the volume worked fine. I went to put it back in to see if it still spit out tapes, and now when I turn the volume all the way up, it's very soft and almost like its on a very very low setting. I even tried hooking my Pioneer back up, but that don't even turn on now so I am 100% lost here..I don't think it's power because the stock one did work after I put it back in, but the Pioneer dont. So what could be wrong with my car to cause the Pioneer-which worked great before-to go out on me? And what about the volume of the stock HU? Someone PLEASE Tell me whats up and how to fix these problems cuz I hate driving with no music

Thanks a bunch
