car stereo not geting power

I recently got a2007 dodge ram 1500 and took the radio out of my 2004 Dakota the wire harness is used on both trucks so I just swapped them but it didn't power on so I bought a new wire harness just to make sure and the same thing it wont power on so I put it back in the Dakota and it powers rite on and I put the factory radio back in the ram and it powers rite on.. what am I missing here

2007
dodge
ram 1500

Re: car stereo not geting power

I think the problem is on the wire harness I bought actually both of them there is one wire in a different location the ignition wire.. I tried moving the pin in the harness but it doesn't fit in the spot it should be in

Re: car stereo not geting power

You may need to make sure the radio is grounded, not all chryslers are grounded through the wired harness. Many are grounded through a separate ground wire.
