Hi, I have installed a new CD deck into my car and it doesn't receive any power. There is no power in the constant (white & blue) wire, or the switch (yellow & red) wire. I have installed it correctly for sure and i have replaced the fuse to the radio. This is also a problem that was present previously, and i thought it was an issue in the radio, which prompted me to buy the new one. Any thoughts?

You mentioned that there is no power on white/blue and yellow/red wires at the radio. Did you happen to check if there is power by the fuse box for the said wires? I would check that. If you have power at the fuse box at those two fuses, but no power at the radio, then you know the wires are cut somewhere. If that is the case, I would just run new wires.
