So my radio has been cutting out and now its completely dead. It has the constant 12v power, but the switched wire (which i believe comes from the ignition) doesnt work. Is there a replay somewhere in there that could have gone bad? what else would cause the signal to fail between the ignition switch and radio. The wires that i can see look fine too, all fuses are good, ect.
Thanks!
 
The fuse for the radio switched and the radio constant are under the hood. I assume you meant those when you said all the fuses look good.

As long as all the other accessories work as normal with the ignition switch, you can rule out the ignition switch as the problem, although they occasionally do go bad on DSMs.

If those two things are good, pull up a wiring diagram on this site and start tracing the wire back to the junction block.
 
Before you start checking wires, quickly hook-up a 12v lead just to make sure it turns on and works normally. It might be something stupid like a bad head unit and you'll just be wasting your time.
