My radio system will not turn on but the clock still works when I hit the clock button. Can i just buy a new wire harness set to fix it or just rewire it? What should I do?

What in the world makes you think wires disconnected themselves and moved around? Pressing the clock button turns the display on for a few seconds. That is a feature designed in to not need to have the ignition switch turned on. It runs on the 12 volt memory circuit. Besides working with the ignition switch turned off, the same thing will occur if the main radio fuse is blown. Check that first.
