Your issues may be far more severe than just the radio if you cross-wired a jump...

If you saw smoke coming from the sides of your radio, the chances are good it's time for a new one... You're very lucky if you got off that easy though...

i apreciate it man im gonna look at it more tomorrow and see if i can find out anthing more about it, but everything elese electrical in the car works (lights interior and exterior,dash,etc.)

That's pretty odd, but hey, it's a good thing.

I guess the radio may have been the path of least resistance in this case and took the brunt of the damage. Do you have an aftermarket deck you could try out?

nope all i got is a stock cd player but tomorrow im going to take it out and check all the wires and all that good stuff
