ok so recently some little kid decided that he liked my stereo and ipod. so he broke my door lock and took it.
i replaced the lock and moved on to stereo. i bought a stereo and the harnesses that everyone recommends. matched up all wires spliced using red connector. the stereo is not recieving power. so i check the ground wire and red wire/yellow wire to see if they had been cut. nope. just not getting power to it.
where do i start. and when is it time to take it to a audio place?

 

check the 15a fuse too

 

have you checked the fuse

 

checked fuse in slot 15 was still solid. its a 7.5 fuse. and checked the fuse on the stereo and its solid too

 

any ideas?

 

umm so you have the yellow wire going to yellow and red going to red black to black and so forth? its a 7.5a fuse wow that makes me wanna go out and double check mine i could have sworn it was a 15.

 

make sure that none of the wires slipped when using the butt connectors, my friend had the same problem and his ground just slipped far enough out to where there was no connection... and if that doesn't work try to make sure that all of the plug ins are connected securely ( i know it sounds simple but trust me it happens) and i would make sure to check all of the fuses in the system again

 

checked fueses again switched the 7.5 to a 15. pulled off the butt connectors and twisted the wires together and electric tapped them still nadda...

 

hmmm.... maybe its a bad deck? and is the 15A fuse on the back of the deck still good? i know most have fuses right next to the plug in

 

yeah maybe... both fuses are good. maybe i will just take it to a audio place in the morning. if he says its a bad deck than i can take it back for a new one.

 

yeah that really the only thing i can think of... i mean the wiring is pretty simple just match the colors! haha

 

yeah the harnesses make it way simple. eh i will let someone who knows what to do look for the problem

 

yeah haha if you lived closer i might be able to look at it but thats what i would do... just have them test the deck wherever you bought it
