Default Toyotas arent dependable lulz

So I just got my power steering pulley replaced for the second time, how they break...I have no clue, and the mechanics managed to kill my battery and shit. The owner of the place is a very nice guy and noticed my terminal wires were really coroded, they were my next fix. He ended up replacing them at no charge and got my car running but now my radio wont work at all. Won't turn on or anything. I checked the fuse and its a good one.

Any suggestions? I know the old factory radio needed a code supposedly to run it after being disconnected for awhile IIRC but I have an aftermarket system. Please help.

Well I did hear of Toyota's dependability going to shit somewhere around 2002 but in your case, your shit is just old and that shit happens.

When your terminals were replaced, it's possible they did not reconnect the power wire to the new terminal. Does your amp power on? Or sub? I say check the grounds and follow the power wire.
