Answer
Chad,
The Sony stereo requires two 12 volt feeds to operate. A 12 volt hot at all times and a 12volt feed switched with the ignition on. You may want to use a volt meter or a 12 volt test lamp to check for both feeds. If a wire to the stereo melted you would have smelled it burning, the problem may be a blown fuse in the fuse box. You may want to try  streetdreams.com for a wire color guide for your vehicle stereo wires.
