Stock Stereo Won't Power On, (CD/Tape Combo Player with Amp) Options

[MegaMac]

Alright, guys. I have a problem.

I have an original Toyota stereo as seen here: http://i00.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/987/270/614/614270987_491.jpg

Since that particular system requires an amplifier, I purchased a stock one from a member on here, identical to the one seen here: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/y...Q/$_57.JPG

All cables are present and all connections fit and are tight. No missing prongs or severed wires. Once everything was ready to go I turned the car on and I heard the laser cycle, but the player did not turn on. I pressed the power button, and nothing. I also did the button combination to unlock Toyota radios, but it was still unresponsive. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something? All fuses that relate to the radio and dash are fine as well. It seems to be getting power, but man, I am at a loss.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

you need this to connect a aftermaket radio to your oem amp...

at any rate, power should flow through the aftermarket amp. to the radio. unless busted.

here is your pin out.



test for power on p500 pins 4 and 3 of course on the coresponding spots on the harness.

if you get power there, and stereo dont turn on. radio is bad.. if no power, amp may be fried...
