I put a new stereo in my boat this weekend but can't get it to work. I took out a two year old stereo that only had a tape deck and replaced it with a JBL stereo with a CD player. The old stereo still had the stickers on the wires identifying what they all were. I did a wire by wire replacement but can't get the new stereo to work. Any suggestions?

If you're not getting power to the unit, I'd get a test light and make sure that the hot wires are hot when they are supposed to be and your ground wire is good.

Make sure that the memory wire is hooked up to a non switched source, or at least powered when it is in ACCY. Most stereos won't turn on without a hot memory wire.

do like joedirt said, check power and ground line. Also see if the batteries are charges and tight. Also check the power wire to your ignition, I ran into the same problem on my boat.
