Well idk then...does the radio work?

If all else fails, disconnect it (all the wires), and try the lights and stuff, if they work, you know theres something wrong......the clipping technique can be a pita lol

 

okay found the starter, how do i find the "fuse" there?

 

Gotcha! Ill keep workin on it. Thanks for all your help.

 

nope the radio doesnt work.

Just thought I'd let all yall know that I figured this out. I neglected to check the mini fuses uder the hood.....the I.O.D (input/output device) was blown. Everything came back on after replacing this fuse. Thanks for yalls input!

 

after you change the fuse you have the wiring hooked up incorrect on the radio you are using the "illumination wire" on ground or positive and this is why your ignition fuse is blown it should be about a half a foot from your battery on a fusable link

12volts pink wire
ground black wire
switched power or ignition wire is red/white stripe
and hopefully you know your speaker wires if not send me a pm im kinda lazy to type the rest
