soo...i got this new radio into my car..have had it for like 3 months now..and its been working fine until about two days ago... it just didnt turn on...put the removable faceplate on and it didnt turn on after i pressed power... so i took it off..and there is a red light that usually flashes...i assume its to know its gettin power but now its not flashing...so yea... i thought it would be a fuse.. but i doubt it cuz the fuse also powers the clock and cig lighter and those both worked..i checked the wiring on the radio..everything is good...so yea..dont know what to do...oh yea i have a 90 crx..
someoneplease help asap!!!

 

Check all the fuses in the car. Not just the ones that you think are the appropriate ones... All of them. If you verify (with a meter or test light) that they're all good, pull the radio and check the ground, constant and switched 12v lines and let us know what you find.

 

arite well...i checked all the fuses in the car...and the 10A fuse in the stereo head...so yea...nothing there...i also looked at the wiring...unhooked them then hooked them again...and nothing...everything looked fine..the constant and switched looked fine....now im just lost....dont know what to do...its a DUAL XDM6820 receiver with removable face place...

so please help asap!!

As B18C_EJ8 said, verify with a multimeter or a test light that you have power on all the 12v lines. "Looked fine" isn't good enough for us to help you.

Where did you get the HU? 94

 

im gonna be testing it witha multimeter later today...havnt had time this weekend...ill get back with an update...

and yea i got it from best buy..for like 60$

 

why dont you just take the radio out and put power to it negative and positive to see if its the radio. If the radio comes on then its a fuze or something wrong with wiring.

 

just chuck the radio you will pay more for a damn multimeter than a new HU lol....maybe the faceplate connection is bad, the HU itself might have went boom...check to make sure you have 12V going into ignition and acc, constant, check the grounds, if you are getting that voltage then the HU is bad, try swapping in a buddies that works and then you will know for sure
