Default Why won't my radio work?

I have a 92 civic hatchback and it's got a b20 swap in it. For some reason my radio won't work. I've put a test light to where the power and ground comes out of the harness to my radio. It gets power. So I tried another radio with different harness that worked in my bros car but don't work in mine. What could it be? And the radio fuse is good.

It's not getting any power to Your radio. Sounds like a wire loose some where.

That doesn't make sense cuz it's getting power at the harness with test light. And it can't be piece for radio because I've tried the other radio and stock radio too.

To work, the radio requires 2 separate fuses (hood-"back up" and dash-stereo) that protect 2 power wires. Check them both as one is likely blown.

Thanks it was the fuse for the back up. It had a 5A Fuse and rated for 15A
