3 Stereos Wont Fire Up Wtf?

[ARTZ]

Ok any stereo gurus out there got any ideas..i have 3 stereos (pioneer,kenwood,sony) all about 5-10 years old...all were working when pulled out of other cars...

I have wired them in...nothing

wired direct to battery red/yellow > positive , black>negative ...nothing..

so I put connectors on them and wired them that way into 2 seperate cars batteries and nothing will make them light up..

i got the sony to make a little whirring noise occasionally if it gets a good connection but no lights come on..

is it possible all 3 stereos have just died sitting around boxed in my garage for the last few years..?

its driving me crazy that none of these things will fire up...

Highly doubt it. Try connecting the antenna, should be a RCA looking thing, though not RCA.

I had soldered my own harness for my 34, plugged it in and was devastated, plugged the antenna in and it lit up!

actually i didnt try that...must be the only thing i didnt try..

i think its unlikely to be an issue but will give it a shot

ok after racking my brains out all night i took all three stereos to JB workshop and asked him to test em..and unbelievably all three are dead....

bought another one and all is good...
