2003 350Z. Installing an aftermarket radio and it is not getting any power what so ever. Re-Checked the wiring which is correct and also checked the interior fuse panel radio fuse and it was fine. Any suggestions?

Power is key on 12volts. I would re check fuses with a test light to confirm.

How many fuses is there that powers the radio? I checked the one on the interior fuse panel, but is there one in the fuse panel under the hood?

Check if the radio unit has a blown fuse-make sure the wiring connector is attached properly

I checked the wiring over multiople times and it is done properly, and the fuse on the radio is fine. Is there something under the hood that I should be checking?

At the radio connector, there must be 2 wires with battery voltage with ignition switch turned on, Light Green and Yellow.

With ignition switch off the Yellow wire should have battery voltage.
