Radio will not come on

[Gypsy81165]

I am installing a Pioneer DEH-P3300 radio into a 1990 Chevy s-10 pickup. I hooked up the power and the ground to the harness correctly (I did not hook up the speakers). I tested the harness with a test light and it has power. I plugged it into the radio along with the antenna and nothing works. I checked the fuse in the radio and it is good. The radio was tested by the person I bought it from and he said it worked. Any ideas?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

you have switched connected also?

I connected the yellow, red and ground and nothing comes on. It has power in the harness because the test light confirmed that.

Check the radio for a power button, try touching the black wire to metal on car, get your money back?

power also known as "source button" at bottom left

I pressed the source button and nothing. I will try touching the black wire to metal on the truck but I have a feeling that won't help because isn't that what the ground wire in the truck does? I will contact the seller of this radio and see what he has to say. In the mean time if you have any more ideas it would be helpful if not thanks for all of your help anyways.

if u just pressed it, then holding it for a few seconds might work
