Error Code from Computer...Need help..

I have an 04 F150 Styleside XLT 4.6L factory single cd no sub.

Alright well I am having this issue with my radio.. There is no display and no sound coming from the radio.. I replaced all fuses relating to the radio and have swapped out the radios with 2 other one and none of them work.. so it is something wrong with the truck... I am taking the truck to a local shop tomorrow morning because I know the owner and he is going to hook the computer to the truck to see if any errors show.. Now would an electrical problem like this spit an error code?

Someone thought that there wasnt enough power making it to the radio therefore its not working.. The lighting on the buttons work and if I hit the eject cd button, "no cd" shows on the display... When I threw in the factory 6 disk/mp3 it came up on the screen and said "initializing" but went away.. then I threw in the factory single cd and "AM 570" showed on the screen but went away..

It almost seems like there is a loose wire or something..At this point everything stereo related is stock, I used to have an amp hooked up so there are T connectors spliced into the factory speaker wires but nothing else... I recently had a remote starter hooked up and that still works frine so it doesnt seem to point to that..

I am just at a loss for words at this point.. I took it to the local dealership last week and the guy told me that he wouldnt warranty any of the work because I still has amp wiring running through the truck... I took that out and am going to try another local FOrd dealership hopefully soon..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

Matt

**edit. Saw where your dealer said no.

Disconnect all non-oem wires leading to your factory radio and take it to another dealer and see what they say.

thats what I am doing.. I took all aftermarket stuff out as of last week and have an appointment with new dealer on Monday... I took my truck to a local shop owner and had him hook it up to a computer to see if any errors were being read.. There was no error codes.. He said most likely it could be lose ground or something... Cant wait til this gets over with because I have all my stuff for my new system sitting in my closet ready to go...
