If you unplugged the neg from the battery...did you plug it back up? Simple, but ya never know. Are you sure your add a fuse is good?

A multi meter is invaluable in troubleshooting this issue if all wiring and fuses look to be good.

Soooo simple... I knew my power and ground wires were both live because when I put the fuse in there was a small spark. Same with the ground, touched it to my grounding spot and another small spark. So it all came down to the remote wire. Had originally pulled the fuse out of #32 and plugged it into add a fuse then plugged it in. After trying a couple different things (which consisted of smoking several cigs and reading up online) I decided the only other thing that makes sense that I was missing was to put a 2nd fuse on the add a fuse. WWOW I'M A RETARD.... Finally I got power!!!

Write up of install w/ pics soon to come... Too exhausted...
