you did not have the power on did you, when hookin things up?

check for a fuse on the back of the radio.

replace if blown, if it still does not work, check to make shure you ARE ACTUALLY getting 12 volts to the radio

ALSO DO NOT ground your Radio in the Dash. ground it with your amps, or in the kick panel.
