Ill bet you blew a fuse. Did you check your fuse box?

Not hard to do, only have to touch the wrong wire once or create extra draw through one source and they go.

Did you use original radio wiring to hook it up, and therefore original radio fuse? From memory, 78/79 ish radio fuse was 2nd from bottom on right, about 10A.

Thanks fellas...Sometimes you just have to check the obvious ::) It was a bad connection to my battery, just pure chance that it happened after i installed the stereo.
