So The Other Day I Decided To Throw In A New Deck With An Old Sub and Amp In The Truck...Everythings going Ok...The First Night I Put In The Deck, And I Go Driving About For A Day With It Running Fine....The Second Night I Decide To Do The Sub And Amp...So I Take Out The Radio, And Hook Everything Up....But Now The Radio Wont Work....I Checked The Fuse In The Back Of The Radio..It Was Ok...I Checked The Fuse IN The Truck...And Thats Ok....But Nothing,, So I Hooked Back Up The stock Radio and Still Nothing.....Anyways My Buddy had A New Radio In The Box That We Decided To Try, And Even That Didnt Work....So I Said Screw it I Dont Smoke Run It Off The Ligter, And The Radio Has Been Working Fine Since We Decided To Use That As A Power Source Instead Of Using The Factory Power Harness....Anyways A Week Has Gone By, And Now My Rear Window Isnt Working Anymore.....Not Up Down Nothing..It Was Working Perfectly Before But Nothing......According To The Owners Manuel, The Radio And Back Window Are Ran Off THe Same System, So I Think The Two Might Have Something TO Do With One Another.....? Any Ideas?

did you cut wires to install the radio or use a wiring harness adapter?
 






I Bought The Harness Adaptor From Best Buy
 






fuse 20, 28, 29 are listed as radio fuses (on side of the dashboard)
if you didn't solder and heatshrink all connections, you may have shorts in the connections made between the harness adapter and radio harness.
check all connections to make sure they cannot short, and then check the 3 fuses
also check the fuse/relay location "3" in the engine compartment

You missed capitalization on a word......

I'm sorry but that just does bad things to my eyes!

As I said, it messes with my old eyes!

Look at the beginning of the forum for FAQ's and it'll give you everything you need to know about the rear window. Do the initialization first. Follow it exactly or it won't work.
