You need to give us some more info on the vehicle and equipment your trying to/have installed.
Did you use a aftermarket harness, or did you hardwire it? if so did you double check your connections with a digital multimeter? Was the previously installed radio working? Have you checked the fuses?

The only connections required for power on aftermarket radios are yellow(12v constant)red(12v switched/accessory)and black(ground)..the blue wire your talking about is usually used for either 12v amp turn on or 12v power antenna output
