Hello Guys

Recently I posted a topic about my deck not functioning correctly. I recently just purchased another deck and it has the same problem. I tried 2 different decks but I still have the same problem.

*Problem, Only the remote control can function the head unit. The head unit will only allow me to eject and change the source. I can do nothing more than that. I also have to re-insert my face plate every time the car is turned on in order to use the remote.

Things I have done to try to fix this.

- Get a new harness and did the re-wiring together.
- Checked ALL my fuses.
- Try 2 different head units.

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks again.

 

what kind of headunit?

 

Clarion

I've tried JVC

and i am not going to buy anymore head units and go return them.

 

were are you buying these units from? Do you have a multi meter?

Also, what is the MM&Y of car it is in?
It is quite a coincident that 2 diff. HUs would have the same exact problem, much less two diff. brands with the same problem. 94

 

95 integra ls

i am buying my units from best buys/ circuit citys/frys

 

Then they would be authorized dealers of the product you are getting so we know they are new HUs.
Are you using a harness adapter, like one of these... http://www.scosche.com/product...D/295 and are you sure it is wired in properly? 94

 

yes it is wired properly

i started getting this problem after a few months of installing a deck

now it is permanent to every deck

weird thing

checked all connections and they are fine.

 

ttttt

 

As I said, it is a coincident that you would have the same exact problem with two HUs, same make and model, maybe just a bad run, but a diff. make with the same exact problem is more then a coincident, you would think it has to be something common to both brands, leaving only the install, wiring and physical mounting of the HUs as the common factor.

Only thing I can suggest is to pull the HU and with a multimeter check/confirm that the wiring is correct, that you have a good 12V+ on the acc. and constant leads, that the ground is good, that all 8 speaker leads, [4 sets] are wired properly to the proper speakers and there are no shorts to ground, power or each other on any one of the 8 speaker leads. that the illumination lead is properly caped off if not being used. 94

BTW, Are you using a proper back support on the HU?
What is the MM&Y of the car?

 

95 integra ls as stated above

i've installed many hu's before and i am using the correct harness

i am going to get a volt meter soon and see what is not getting enough power.

 

It may be the correct harness, but it may also be pinned wrong, I have seen that more then a few times.

When metering, pay close attention to the speaker leads. 94

 

found 2 dead wires from the car not from the harness

not sure what its called

but all i have to do is replace those 2 wires correcT?

if i'm wrong correct me thanks

 

what color wires?
