But being not that tech minded i cant seem to figure out the problem iv been told to test the voltage in the power line and check the fuses in the engine but i dont really know what im doing so any advice would be a huge help i checked the fuse behind head unit doesnt seem to be burnt out so maybe my head units **** it self iv googled it other cars not vz are having the same problem but doesnt seem to give me a solution plz help cause im stuck cheers

You should have a fuse box in your engine pay, long skinny black lid if serves my memory right? Take the lid off and check the fuses under that, should be a fuse list on the back on the lid!

Checked engine fuses but i wouldnt expect any of them to really affect the stereo but as i stated im pretty useless when i comes to technical ****

lol, usually once the battery power is lost on a head unit, or u first install it you have to press the 'on' or 'power' button on the remote or headunit itself, then it will turn on automatically everytime u start it.

I get that but theres power goin to the headunit but still wont turn on could it be that the head unit just burnt out cause the fuse is perfect
