Yesterday i put in a new head unit all works till today....the windows wont go back up and the head unit stoped workin...it worked earlier today....went to roll them up and it didn't happen...checked the fuses on the panel inside the truck...found one bad replaced it and it still didn't work...anyone got any idea what the problem is.

 

did you check the fuses under the hood. your problems sounds like a fuse problem to me

 

yea i checked them too...idk if its a short some where...it might be a loose wire also i'm not really sure yet tho...all i know is i gotta get it figured out before sunday because its suppose to rain

 

rain with windows down is no good.

I dont think installing the head unit would cause the windows to fail. i.e., I dont think there's any wires for the windows in that part of your dash. the only thing i can think of is a fuse or a bad ground maybe? bad grounds cause all sorts of weird crap to happen.

if the head unit doesnt get power at all, im sure you have already, but check your connections again , especially if you need to splice the harness, and see if you can get the head unit to kick back on. you might need to mess with the harness for the radio if you think its a short. thats all i can think of off the top of my head. also, make sure everything behind the radio in the dash is plugged in. on my 01, theres some pretty electrical boxes back there. not sure EXACTLY what they're for though.
Good Luck Man!

 

thanks man...mines an 02 so there might be something there...but i'm gonna try to figure out more tommorow in the daylight...just makes me pretty mad that the windows had to be gay like that lol

 

come on guys i know you can do better then this...all help is appreciated

 

really need help with this ones guys

 

yea im not sure whats up with the windows. thats a weird one. i even asked my buddy who's a mechanic and he was stumped. not what you wanted to hear i know lol

 

lol...i have no clue what the problem is...i took the head unit out and put the stock one back in...i checked in the dash for any loose wires...i pulled every fuse and checked it...the worse part is i have no money to fix it right now
