Oh, you're the guy with the time bomb.

More details about the car, please.

Any aftermarket equipment installed? Any intrusions into the factory wiring?

what do u mean time bomb?i tried hookin up my aftermartket deck and it dosent turn on and i wired it right but still dosent work.when i got the car the stock deck didnt work.what do u think could be the problem????

IF you've done the wiring harness correctly, and both your new deck and the old deck don't work, it's quite likely one of the important wires like the power or ground wire is not connected somewhere.

you can check the viability of your power cable with any cheapo voltmeter. If you don't know how to do this or don't know what I'm talking about STOP NOW and just take the thing to a shop and pay them to fix it. If there's no power from the main power cable, or the ground wire isn't grounded, you'll have to either find the place where the wires broken or disconnected or just replace the whole thing.

There is also the possiblility that both decks are dead. Wire them up to a good 12v source and see if they fire up.
