Question No power to radio. Help!!!

Ok after having my radio stolen out of my car........im getting no power to the radio. I have replaced and tested all of the fuses and found them fine. SO im thinking its a short somewheres. What are my alternatives? Do i run power from the battery? If so how do I do it. I miss my tunes!! Help

If the radio fuse is fine, test the actual wires. if it still doesnt work bring it to a professional audio shop.

Did you test the wires or just plug the harness into the new radio? There is no guarentee that the harnesses are the same... test the wires to be sure that you are getting power to the right wires and make sure you are using the correct harness for the radio.
