Replaced battery and now radio won't power on

I have an aftermarket kenwood radio and my battery recently went bad so I replaced it and now it won't power on. I checked all the fuses in the car including both fuse boxes and the fuse in the back of the radio. Any ideas? Should I just run a wire to my fuse box in the backseat or is there an actual fix for this?

Just make sure to double check everything, if it doesn't work out, you can run the turn on lead to IGN3 in the rear fuse block. Radio will power on with ignition, that's how mine is.

In Ign3 does that allow it to still retain memory such as like audio settings, radio stations, and the time?

Did you check the RAP fuse and relay under the back seat. Try swapping relays.

What relay would it be?
