radio trouble.

96 Ford Ranger STX 4.0

the problem is the radio. my neighbore killed his battery, along with the radio it seems. i figured some code or fault came up, so i looked in the owners manual, and nothing. now i shoved mine in there because i have an alpine system. But mine dont seem to work either. i really dont have much time to trouble shoot right now, and wont till after new years. he doesn't seem to care too much about it, but wants to have it fixed eventually. He wants me to ask around before he takes it to a shop, and see if anyone else had this problem. it's a 96, with a radio and casset, no autoset button. i dodn't give any of the leads test for current. but if anyone could help me out here. Every other electrical system works fine, and no fuses blown. the radio hasn't worked worked since the battery origianally died.

I'm gonna post this in the electrical or sound section.

a wiring guide of the harness going to the radio would help, if anyone has one.

Switched power would be my first theory, but it could also be the gound. Why it went out with the battery I don't know, but I would immedately blame it for the problem.
