Trying to install...failing...aggravation levels rising

[Strickland]

Alright I have a 1992 Chevy K-1500. The factory radio did not Work when I got the truck. I have bought a new radio (Pioneer), and new wiring kit and install kit. I finally located the stupid antenna wire inside the tuner beneath the dash. Now I’m thinking I have everything ready to go. Plug the wires in, turn the key and BOOM, nothing at all. Test light comes out and I have no power going to my radio nor my tuner. Also I have no power going to my cigarette lighter which I was simply going to tap into...I’m not a radio guy, I don’t know much about this stuff at all. Any advice would be very much appreciated. I just want some music in my truck without having to play pandora on my phone and wear a headset

check the fuse box to see if any of the trucks fuses are bad.

Often times the radio and cig outlet are on the same fuse, check your fuses.

Probably just opened a fuse. Some vehicles have fuse box somewhere inside and another up under the hood so if you don't find a burnt fuse under the dash or wherever see if there's another spot to look under the hood. Worst case scenario you can find +12 and ACC up by the ignition and run new wires.
