Answer
Hi Trey,
First check the fuse box for a bown fuse, anything else in the car not working?
If they are all OK (check for secondary fuse box on some cars)Pull the radio and check for power on the 12v and acc leads, depending on the model of the radio (you didnt say) there is one on eack lead and sometimes a small one in the back of the set. Peter
