Sounds like there's a loose ground or something. You might wanna do your typical continuity tests. If there's no continuity it's obviously a loose connection or the unit is bad. You might wanna check out Free online auto repair manual for the masses. Recession Proof. - Garage411 they usually have this kind of stuff.

Ok. After more research Im leavif towards the head unit wiring. Came with some old pioneer and switched over to a new Sony n there were a couple stray wires on the new one.

Was this the problem you had?

According to me may be its an electrical wiring problem, I suggest you a best auto repair shop i.e. Rose Brothers Garage. They are really helpful.
