Many of these radios have an anti-theft feature, where you must have a PIN in order to transfer another radio in place of the OEM. Without the PIN, it won't work.

One of the Chrysler employees on here could probably detail the procedure, as I've never encountered it myself. I would think the radio would prompt for it. But what you just posted now suggests a different issue; maybe damage to the harness or a bus problem (since the radio operation is controlled by the CANBUS).

My apologies, I didn't look closely at his original picture, and I associated the 3-digit model code with the newer radios.

My 84 Daytona has a braided ground strap AND a quick-connect faston to a ground wire.
My 92 Dakota, I believe, has no braided ground strap, but I believe it may have the quick-connect faston to a ground wire.
If the radio mechanically mounts through those diagonal plastic tabs with two screws, there is no ground connection there, so it must have the braided ground strap, or a separate ground wire to the radio chassis, or both.
