all you did was turn it off? you didnt mess with anything around the engine when you were putting the stereo in?
Theres a little black plug that used to come off all the time on one of my other mustangs on the voltage regulator by the battery... try that

Does it crank at all? I've seen where corrosion from water and cleaners have made the contacts on the starter solenoid not reliable. Do you know how to bypass the solenoid?
