Answer
Hi Gudda,

Are you sure there's power getting to the system?  Power comes into a deck via THREE wires.  One is a constant (keeps your radio settings, clock time, etc.)  One is ground to provide the electricty a path back to the battery, and one is 12V switched.  It tells the deck when it should turn on.  You need to make sure all 3 of these wires are working.  You should get 12V from constant to ground when the car is off and on, 12V from accessory to ground when the car is on, 0V from accessory to ground when the car is off.  If you're getting that, then the deck is dead.  If you're not, check your fuses.
