um are your dash lights on too? seems like something wasnt connected properly or came loose. did it just happen? disconnect the illumination and dimmer wires if you have them. if theyre hooked wrong, it may be the problem. you dont really need it anyway unless you want the deck to dim when dash lights come on.

You got it hooked up wrong, too many people just wire blue-blue, red-red, white-white without reading what it says on the wire jacket. With my old headunit, I had to wire blue to yellow and white to red or something like that. Your switched/ignition wires should be together and also your battery/constant wires should be together. And black-black SHOULD be your ground.
