Most people dont realize that todays vehicles are using same wire harnesses for everything i cannot stress how much people screw them selves by buying a wire harness and putting sterio's in them selves you void your warranties doing this
they mix up the different wire colors which screws up different parts of the vehicles ive been reading this alot in this forumn if at any if you still want to put in the sterio yourself and not have professional do it then i suggest this when your buying your sterio before check out goto sterio installation bay by the proper harness and 5 bucks have the car guys there splice the wires together for you so at least you didnt screw up the wiring plug in mount and your done your safe
certain vehicles need certain harnesses for sterio to work properly if not connected right you can blow your investment on both ends your sterio and your vehicle
some wires are hard to see cause there faded a proper wire harness and installation will keep your investments safe ive had DEH-P6400 for almost 8 years now been threw 8 vehicles moved with me never had a problem with it always made sure proper wire harness and maintenance for sterio by certified pros it was a birthday present from a special someone who passed away and i cannot for love of god get rid of it and wont

- Did you check the fuses and if you checked the fuses did you match wires correctly to harness remember some vehicles have more than one fuse on them they can have up to 3 or more depending on if it was pre-owned and owner had another system in there with multi fuses
now the other thing could be that they gave you the wrong wire harness for your vehicle now on my understanding about chevy models above 2000 they kept the same harness set up (ill have to look that up to be sure) but say if by some chance they gave u example= toyota and it looks and matches the chevy's model it wont work they look the same but wires are not match this is why i stress please take to certified sterio installers you might have just blown your system they have the test facilities to make sure your sterio is fine and working before complete install they know what there doing

- P.S. Radio Shack is not a certified sterio installer remember they can sell the parts and products but getting down to it they arent certified in that area look up local certified car sterio installers get it done right ;)
-   I bought the harness for a 2002 silverado and the deck will not power up. i even took it to radio shack and they could not find the reason why-   Guest
