it sounds like you got a short somewhere check thet all your wires have no metal spots showing and that there is no little barbs in the wire that could be grounding it out.

i took it out welded everthing properly then used liquide electrical tape around the weld so i know there was no prob there theres power remember just no sound it cost over 60 for them to install it at best buy

like he said. sounds like a short. check your wires. i just put in another today. had power and staticy sorta but i had a wire on the speaker in my door that came loose and was grounding the whole system on the door. check it out bud. check against a wiring diagram.

Def. sounds like a bad ground amongst the wiring, Or I have seen this before when the antenna is bent wrong or to far.. HOPEFULLY its just a wire loose somewhere easy to get to and easy fix.
