check fuse if good then replace with new unit. cost a few buck s at your local parts store. if still don't work find a constant power sourse like the memory for your radio and connect positive wire in with it. the ground can go to the ground on the radio or to a bolt or screw under the dash as long as it is a metal to metal contact it will work. zip tie the wires up out of the way so they don't dangle and wont get damaged. shouldn't take long to do.
