Need some radio help please!

My stock radio in my 90' isn't working! It has power coming to it at all the power points and it has a good ground. I test the radio in my buddy's first gen. and it worked great. So it's got power and ground and the radio is functional. But it won't work in my truck! Anybody have any ideas what it might be? Thanks

Maybe all your speakers decided to go all at once, try another radio that you know works in there and if no go it might possibly be the speakers or it could be something with your wiring harness.

Is your radio not even turning on? So you checked the Main power, The ACC, and the grounds?

Other than that i would say you might possibly have a short somewhere in one of your speaker wires causing it to ground itself out and not play any music.

would the radio cut on even if the speakers were out? The display on the radio doesn't even come on, no clock or presets. But i checked and triple checked all the power cords. I have no idea what causing my problems!

Definatly a power problem. Get a test light and test to make sure you have 12v at the power for the radio. There should be two, 1 key on power and 1 constant power. I am unsure as to which wires you need sorry.
