Default Crank no start

04 f150 lariat crank no start after installing a radio. Not sure if it could be a fuse, relay or if I fried something. Has happened to anyone before?

have you checked fuses ? This is why they tell you to disconnect the battery prior to working.

You’ve probably done this, but go back and triple check everything that you had taken apart. Last time this came up, the guy had one of the battery cables fall out of place while disconnected, then didn’t get connected when putting battery back in.

so your truck starts/runs with stereo disconnected ?

when putting in new stereo, had you used one of the harness adaptors? In other words, when you now disconnect radio/harness, are you certain everything is now ‘back to stock’?
