Cd Player Install.... Gone Wrong HELP
Hey guys
Another question, I just wired up my Verge MP3 player and it doesnt work
I bought the adapter harness from the stor and plugged it into the factory harness and made the connections from the new adapter harness to the cd player harness and it dont work.....
well it does turn on and say FM 12:00 but I cant do anything other than that and everytime I push a button, its turns off or fades and then comes back on or something, wont let me push in a cd but when I do it says some S-CD code
I figured my speaker polarities are defientely mixed up but I thought if I gave it the
Power/Accesory Power/Ground it should work...... and take in cd's right?
2 wires I didnt use in the new adapter harness are the Orange Illumination wire and the bluw/white power antenna wire
Any help is seriously apprecaited because I want to get this thing going or any other info you need Ill get asap

I would check and make sure that you have a good ground at the HUs plug, [black wire] and that you have good power at the HUs plug, [red-acc. and yellow-constant wires] if all that is good, then I would check that none of the speaker wires are shorting out to ground, a multimeter or DVM would help, but can be tested with testlight, or evan a 12V light bulb, if it all tests good, then you have a DOA HU

The thing turns on when the accessory is on and when the truck is on so I figured they were alright.....</TD></TR></TABLE> You need to check them with a meter, because you say the HU turns on, but as soon as you try to load a disk or turn it on , or push a button, it turns off or fades, that is what would happen if there is a poor connection on a ground or a power wire, [just enough currant to turn on, but as soon as it needs more power, it cuts out, I have found more then a few defective adpt. harnesses and even the one you get with the HU, sometimes the wire is not stripped when the metal term. is crimped on, or its a bad crimp, [ those you can find easy, just pull on the wire, hold the plug and pull, not too hard] also some HU will do what yours is doing if a speaker lead or speaker is shorted out, you have to test all of that to find what the problem is, and like I said, it may just be a bad unit. 94
