i am puttin a radio in my crx and i cant find a accessory wire. i have tried all the wires and none of them work. i wired the radio directly to the battery and it works but i need to find an accessory wire so it will turn off when the car does. on the diagram it says the blue/white wire is the switched 12v and the yellow/red is the constant but it doesnt work when wired like that. i was gonna wire it to the power wire going to the fuel pump because it turns off when the car does. any suggestions to help?

 

if thats the case why not wire it up to the extra slot on the fuse box inder the dash

 

well the fuse for the ign power is under tha dash and the constant is under the hood, they are there and they are blown, trust me i been installin stereos for the last 6 years,

 

well all the fuses under the dash are good. i checked every one of them and the fuses under the hood are good too :/ i just need a accessory wire to tap into so i can install my radio. any other wires i can tap into?

what happened to the stock wiring harness? It would be attatched to that . . . if you're using that harness it's definitely a fuse or the wire is compromised somewhere. If you're not using the factory harness, what are you using?

 

i was using the factory harness but the accessory wire wouldnt work. and i checked all the fuses and none were blown. i thinkim just gonna take it to mobile one or something

 

hook it to your cigarette lighter fuse. thats how i have mine ran.

 

use a test light and find an empty slot or tap into the opposite side radio fuse under the dash. tap into the side that doesnt get power so the power passes through the fuse first then the wire. to tap in...expose some wire at the end and wrap it around one side of the fuse then push it in. easy way to do it

 

cool thanks man. ill try that when i get home
