Answer
Corey,  If the OEM stereo worked before you removed it, and now after the changeover and back, the OEM stereo does not work.  It sounds like maybe a fuse is blown.  Check all your fuses in the fusebox, and that should fix the problem.  If not, there may be another fuse, under the hood blown, or a fusible link wire may be fried.  Most likely it is just a fuse.  Hope this helps, Scott
