Your gonna have to look through your fuse box and find the accesory fuse(sometimes this is under hood, some look like a relay) and find the radio fuse (not on hu) and check them. If those are still good double check your grounds.

How about the pwr accy fuse? Check for 12v at the pos wire back of your hu with a dmm

i dont have a fuse its not there so yea and i checked it and i do have power

So you have power at the accessory wire but you get nothing to turn the head unit on....ground?

There should be a yellow and red wire on your harness, power and accessory, put the 2 together and see if you get power. If you do the accessory wire is bad.
