okay well i had a kenwood deck in my car when i bought it that was 45 x4 and i had a 52 x4 sony one i wanted to swap in. well anyways i cut the wires to the ken wood and hooked them up to the sony. the sony wouldnt turn on so i put the wires back together to the kenwood and the kenwood wouldnt turn on either so currently i have no sound PLEASE HELP

 

Have you tested the radio fuse in the fuse box under the dash and/or under the hood? BTW what kind of car do you have?

there really should be no reason to cut the wires if you have an interface harness...do you have one??? a little more info would be appreciated.

ok...by what u r telling us is that you cut all the wires together right...???
by doing so you probably popped a fuse. hook up the wires as you normally would then check/replace your fuses. me personally...would keep the kenwood and smash the sony to bitz...then set the remains on fire.

 

okay ill reword everything

i realized i had a deck with higher output

the wires had been cut out of my other car so there was no harness

all the wires were in a harness on the integra so i cut them and spliced them together to the new deck

turned on the battery and it didnt work

so i put the old deck back on and spliced the wires exactly to the wires that had been cut

turned the battery on didnt work

there was a fuse on the sony , wasnt blown , there was a fuse on the wire of the kenwood , wasnt blown

the car is 1995 integra

 

i may try later with another deck i have which is insignia

First of all, power output is irrelevant in this situation.

Second, it's obvious that you either have something wired incorrectly or you have blown a fuse (or more than one).

Your next step is to stop trying new decks and test the red and yellow wires from the decks to power. You should have constant 12v on the yellow and 12v on the red only when the key is on (in the ACC or Run position).

Get a meter or test light and verify those wires. If you're not getting power, check the fuses. There's a radio fuse under the hood and one under the dash.

And by "check", I mean verified for continuity with a meter, not just by "looking" at them.

 

ive done the testing and yes i do get power constant and ignition

the deck is connected now exactly as it originally was so all i can think of is that a fuse blew somewhere else so where should i check

 

Is the unit well grounded? any pics?

 

sorry no pics but the unit worked perfectly fine until i cut the wires

 

did you cut the wires all at one time? Something is not getting power or ground.

 

yaeh i cut them all at once right from the harness

 

There is your problem. There is a blown fuse some were. I not sure how you are getting a reading for 12 volts on the battery or acc wire. Check all the fuses in the driver dash and under the hood. You never cut across a row a wires at the same time. Its one by one if you have to. Or make sure the battery is disconnected if you do. Even thou I still don't reccommend it.

 

okay i will go check fuses and get back to u

 

 

okay well i just checked ACG fuse and RADIO fuse and well they are perfect

I noticed somethign else in the integra there is a clock that sits in the dash
the clock stopped working when the deck was removed there is no longer any light

 

If the clock no longer works more than likely the 7.5A fuse in the fuse box that is in the engine compartment is blown.

 

What about the fuse under the hood? There is a radio one there too.

 

where is it located and wahts the name of it sorry i may sound like an idiot but i really dont know where that one is under the hood

There is a fuse box under the hood. check there to make sure the fuses are good. Pull each one out to look. don't just glance at them. bad ones can look good.

 

thank you guys so much it was the 7.5a just like he said i connected it and it worked except the sony deck is kind of ****** up sometimes the dial doesnt work and sometimews buttons dont work so i think i will switch back to kenwood after recheckin the wires one time

If the fuse was blown the battery wire would not work....... were you lying to us on testing them

 

Liar, liar pants on fire!

i think the problem here is that you used your theif skills when you should be using install skills give the radio back to the person you stole it from.

 

I don't think he stole it is his own fuse is blown

 

he still could've cut them one at a time
most humans are creatures of habit...
