No power to radio.
Ok well On my stock unit I wasnt getting anypower to it. The only thing it would do was show the time for about 5 secondswhen you hit the display button. So I figured the unit was fried. Well I bought an aftermarket unit, and still no power. Everything else on the fuse works fine, just no radio.
Any one have any ideas at all..... Thank. |

Well this has been like this for a couple days. All I get is the clock for a few seconds when I hit the display button. Did you get that too? I wonder if there is a relay or something behind the glovebox.

hmm I did trace the red wire back a little when i was installing the aftermarket unit. I didnt find where it went though. There must be a breaker or something if you heard a click.
Any one else Have any ideas or any expert radio installer know this situation? |

It sounds like you are only getting the constant power +12v to your deck. There are 2 +12v wires going to your deck. One is constant, and one is switched with the ignition on. The deck will not operate if only one of those 2 are present. Since you get the clock, then I am assuming that you are missing switched +12v.
Thats where I would start. If you can hook up a constant +12v source to the supposed "switched" wire, and your radio works, then it is a problem somewhere either in the ignition switch, or somewhere between there and your radio.
