Deck not getting power

Hey guys, for some reason my deck i am installing wont turn on! ive used this deck and installed myself tons of times before and never had problems.. I have hooked up all the wires correctly and nothing happend.. So i tryed hooking the red wire to the ignition fuse and the yellow to battery and made sure the black wire was grounded correctly.. and still nothing! not sure what else to try.

Czech the fuse in the deck, then attach both red and yellow wire to (+) and black to (-), hopefully it fires up, minus the smoke

Grab your trusty DMM and test the vehicle wires.
If they don't work as they should, test all the fuses related to the radio.

Thanks for all the great imput guys, the problem was #1: The ground wire already there for me to use wasn't working and #2: The (Yellow) Wire was not getting any power! So it was infact a problem with the vehicle wiring and not mine or the deck haha
