I have tryed to different decks (aftermarket) now and neither work
Radios are not hard wired, Used a harness on both of them

Iv checked the terminal power with a test light
Iv checked the fuses on the radios
Iv checked my wiring

For the radio to work, it needs voltage from a hood fuse and a dash fuse. Check both fuses and whether the two corresponding radio wires have voltage.
