08 stock radio/stereo dead power after I just pulled trim up
Edit: forgot to say I've been searching a lot on this, across Google and other Yaris forums, youtube videos, and threads here at yarisworld. I couldn't find anything that answered the power question I have. Most others involve loss of power to speakers or a "lockout" thing. I did all the homework I could think of before posting this and asking for help.
I've never had a non-stock car audio system in my life so I was going to get one for father's day. Until I priced the install costs from two shops. Hoping I can learn enough to do it myself, one piece at a time as I can afford it. Starting with deck. I watched some youtube videos how to disassemble center trim and pull the blocky stereo/deck/radio unit out to look at the plugs in back. Looked easy enough, started at bottom trim below air controls, then side trim panels, then trim on dash that surrounds the instrument panel. Started feeling confident I could handle this. I had trouble unplugging the center spot between air vents, it has hazard button, clock and ODO/trip control buttons. Didn't realize until later I could/should have separated that upper part from the stereo unit below. While wondering what I was doing wrong not being able to separate that top part, from what the video showed, thought I'd turn on the stereo just to see it play while I held it a bit out of it's home. No power! No flicker of power, no crackle or anything from speakers, nothing. I've been searching for a couple days now, pissed at myself for screwing up such a simple thing. Wife and kids aren't too happy with me either. I'm really embarrassed about this. Horrible memory, short attention spans, and reduced problem-solving are a couple of my tumor/radiation gifts. I have a shirt that says "Thinking" with one of those software loading bars at halfway. Yep. Here's the status:
Any ideas? Please and thank you!
