How exactly did you do the reset? If nothing electrical on the entire dash works then obviously power isn't getting there but I am not sure if there is a fuse/relay or feed wire specifically for that so I will have to check today and may have an answer for you if no one else jumps in.

I did the positive to negative discharge way. First time i did it that way too. iso there was a fuse out for my gauges, so those work now. Everything except the radio. I checked the fuse on the back of it and all other fuses i think because dont have a manual

I'm betting you blew a fuse. Is the radio getting 14.4V when the car is on? Both red and yellow wires need to have power. Aftermarket hus usually have a buss fuse on the yellow wire.

The red is switched. It should turn on when your ignition is on.
