So I just put a new deck into my dakota And I was listing to it on the was to school and it just died on my so I checked all the fuses there all good the head unit connections are all good any ideas?

 

It still sounds like its a fuses. There are 2 for the radio. One under the steering column and one under the hood.

 

Did you check both panels? (One under the dash and the one under the hood) There are 2 fuses that could cause the radio to go out. I would also suspect a bad ground, or loose wire. Try Pulling the deck out and checking all of the wires.

 

For the one under the hood which one runs to the radio?

 

F2. You can check the Diagrams in the FAQ.
