   Sorry for the confusion, perhaps I over-explained the situation.   
      
   I think I shorted something inside of the radio.  I bought a truck with   
   a chopped radio wiring harness.  I repaired the truck's radio harness   
   wiring, but I somehow shorted the hot wire off of the radio ground when   
   I was installing the radio.   
      
   I'm wondering if I damaged a resistor or capacitor inside of the radio,   
   because it won't power up at all.  I'm sure the wiring harness is   
   correct now, but I might have wired it incorrectly the first time I   
   hooked it up.  I suspect that I switched the ground and hot wires the   
   first time.
