Question
HI, I recently upgraded the factory radio in my Sunfire with a Pioneer DEH-
P5000UB. I got some tips from the installation technician at Best Buy and
installed it myself with some help from my dad.  We connected all the wires,
routing the red cable to the 25A windshield wiper fuse for power.  That was
three days ago, now my car will not start and I assume the radio has drained
my battery.  I am getting a new battery today. Any suggestions?

Answer
tips from the installation technician at Best Buy !!!!!! omg you are in trouble ,wwhy will you listen to them ?


remove the  battery,for 1 hour and install the factory radio back wait about 3 minutes and try to start the vehicle
once everthing is working again we can try to install the new radio again with the correct parts

good luck
