None of those fuses are popped. Crap...

This is weird. The Eclipse wont power up and neither will my stock pioneer HU.

 

check your wiring? also, turn the car on? push the power button on othe radio to turn it on?

 

I took out the wiring that I put in...so everything is back to how it was before. Ive turned the car on and pushed the start button on the radio. I honestly am bufuddled now. I thought for certain it was a fuse too.

 

did you disconnect the battery before doing anything?

 

No I did not. I just didnt have the car turned on...

 

well its your fault that you shorted something... take the install to someone who knows that they are doing

 

.... ..... sheesh...

 

Wow - if you were so clueless about the radio install, why didn't you just go to a shop and have them install it? It's not rocket science, but you definitely need a clue first...

 

I think the first step of every electrical install in a car is "disconnect the battery"...

I think its time you take it to a shop and explain to them exactly what you did (and did not do) and hope they can get it fixed.

 

Ive installed many many radios before. All I was doing was exposing a little bit of wire from the Positive and negative on the wires going into the stereo, and routing them off to the Sattlite radio dock.

Ive done it it this SAME way to my 2004 Jeep Wrangler and had NO problems.

 

Just becasue you've done it the wrong way before - doesn't make it right.

 

Ok so heres the update: I found a blown fuse (it was kinda dark last night and hard to see), and well long story short its the one for the CD player. It works fine now. Though my sattelite radio does not get power. Should I try hardwiring it to the cig lighter instead? (since thats where it plugs into anyways?)

 

Since you dont seem to know what your doing (no offense), I would suggest taking it somewhere to have it done.

You didnt know how to read a fuse panel, a wiring diagram, disconect a battery, find a power wire. etc...
Its great you are trying and seaking help, but you really dont know what you are doing. Find someone local to teach you.

 

ehh... stick it to the cig lighter.
