Radio

I have a '78 jeep cj7. And the radio has been replaced. It doesn't turn on now what could be the problem?

First check the obvious. The fuse. You may have already done that, not insulting your intelligence.

There is no wire connected to it and I can't seem to find it.

Go though the harness and try and find a 12v switched wire. You may need to pull the radio to get to its wiring. Also make sure while there that you have a good ground.

Catoctin's right, you'll need to make sure that the wiring is connected and hasn't come loose. Assuming this is an aftermarket radio, just make sure that the positive (usually the red wire), and the ground (usually the black wire) are connected.

Most aftermarket radios will have a fuse on the positive (red) wire. It should look like one of these:

I followed the 12v cord and it god into a lot of other wires under the steering wheel

Is the radio stock (original), or an aftermarket (i.e. cd player)?

After market

Did you find a fuse on positive radio lead, similar to what is pictured above? It should be on with wire, less than 6 inches from the stereo.
