aftermarket radio(no power)

[siixmac7414]

I just bought a absolute double din stereo for my 2000 bonneville se. Connected everything and nothing. I made sure the 12v constant and acc are connected. the harness I bought h a s 3 black wires all I assume are ground wires since on the legend it only list one black wire and that is the ground. Everything is connected still nothing. Any help?

Thanks, I will definitely try this today, and there is no accessory/switched power coming from the harness correct?

The power to the radio from the dock and lock B1 and B2 is on the retained accessory power circuit so it will only be on when the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position and stays on for 10 minutes after you turn the car off, or when you open the driver's door with the key in off position which ever comes first.
