When you said fuel pump comes on then what? no sound at all? Click sound?

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?

damn i feel like an idiot.. it was a wire that was loose that's next to the battery. i think the positive starter solonoid? i dont know the correct name, but that was loose and put it back on. started up like a champ.. but thanks for the help guys..
