I installed a new battery in my car and now my aftermarket alpine stereo won't turn on.
The radio doesn't say LOC, LOCKED or INOP it is just off. All the fuses associated with the radio look fine, I only had one spare fuse so I changed the one on the passenger side panel and still no luck.

I checked the fuse on the back of the radio and it looked fine. My local chevy dealership wants 80 bucks to fix it so i'm trying everything before I bring it in.
