lol, yeahh, but now I know where the prob is, even if the radio is fried I should have gotten shocked, so the prob is a wire somewhere...I think

put a meter on it, see if it is getting 12 volts, or use a test light

It is 12 volts DC that wire should not shock you, so please do not use that to diagnose your problem either take it to a shop, or do like Sina said and use a meter

Well shouldnt it spark if the ground wire is put near it? it didnt spark, and I put a test light on it and it isnt getting power

then run new wires. your fuse box has empty spots for adding 12v constant and switched accessory

it could be your backup fuse that is in your engine bay. If your clock seems dim then that should be it.

Hmm, i'll check that tomorrow, we are going to rewire if we have to. Hopefully we'll get it working
