I have 2002 ford focus and I installed a new stereo system it was working fine.... then I had to pull the stereo out again b/c I forgot to install Mic. and cig lighter.... after I hooked those things up I went to push the unit back in...... and the stereo went dead......

At first, I thought it was a fuse or relay

so I check fuse box under the steering wheel..... Nothing Blown

Then

check the fuse box under the hood...... Nothing Blown

So that was all good

SO FUSES AND RELAYS ARE GOOD.........

Is there a third fuse box under dash????

The New stereo unit has two wire harness inputs

One for speakers and audio

Second one is for POWER (((( PROBLEM))))))

(Consist of )

*GROUND

*12V BATTERY WIRE

*12V IGNITION WIRE

((((I tested this one with a volt meter and it was dead even when key turned)))))

I crossed the *12V IGNITION WIRE & *12V BATTERY WIRE

The Stereo Unit powered on....

Something is causing my 12V ignition wire for the stereo not to function

Any ideas

The ignition 12v wire has a fuse blown most likely, recheck your fuses. Fuses F31 (ign 30A) and F41 (Battery 7.5A) in The Central junction fuse box, behind dash panel LH side, may be concealed behind the knee panel.
