Ok well im swapping out my pioneer for a new dual receiver. I had everything connected and it worked for a second....then died. It's not blowing fuses....I have two wires that aren't being used on the harness an orange one and a black one that I dont think I need. Where does this orange one connect to because the dual's wires theres no orange am I suppose to splice it in with another one? It's getting power cause I can hear the little motor in it run...but no lights or functions....please help me out

 

the orange one if for like a dimmer you shouldnt need the black one isnt that always the ground check ur wires see if u have the ground connected but the black wire most likely is the ground soo connect it to a ground

 

well the black one on the harness I was talking about is white/black and it use to run to this ipod adapter thing for the pioneer deck. Why do I have wires on the harness leftover for the dual? I don't understand why it worked for a second then quit. I still can't get any light on it or function other than the eject face to come down....god this is pissing me off

 

could it be because I tried to use the pioneer wiring harness? should i get a new one for the dual?

 

well i got extremly mad...still am so a I took the time to go back and wire in the old pioneer and guess what....no power now to this one.

 

Check the fuse in the fuse panel as well as the one in the back of the unit. If that is not it then go back and rewire it slowly. I have been there and done that. One crossed wire and nothing works.

 

i swapped both of them out and it seems to be fine...
