Default Stereo doesn't work

I installed my stereo, and it worked for a few minutes, then it flickered on and off, now it doesn't work at all. All the fuses are good; the inline one I added, the stereo one, and the one in the fuse block. All the connections appear to be good and I do have power to the stereo. I am charging the battery again because it was low, the interior lights work, but are dim.

One thing I noticed was that the case was touching the relay on the transmission hump (grounded). Would this blow my stereo? :confused:

Thanks :cheers:

The metal case surrounding most stereo's is supposed to be grounded, so that shouldn't have blown anything.

The battery sat in the basement all winter, and it was used to drive my van from storage to my driveway early this summer. When I went to use it last weekend, it was dead. :rolleyes:

The battery hasn't been in my vette since September.
