Ok so I am attempting to install my new pioneer 4600. I wired up the harness that comes with the player to the conversion harness that they gave my. I plugged in the power turned it on, and it didn't come on. From the cnversion harness there are 3 wires left. A dimmer wire, a illumination wire, and a power antenna wire. On the wires from the cd player, I have a system remote control wire left. I checked all the connections and they were good. So i decided to put the stock one back in for a minute, and it wouldn't work either. The guy who preveously owned the car, ran all new wires to the speakers, so it is kinda hacked up, but it looks like all the connections are good. Can anybody help me?


MY power antenna doesn't work, but I ran the power antenna wire to the acc 12 v wire, but nothing works. I still don't understand why the stock unit won't work now?
BTW this is in a 2000 dx hatch.

 

check fuses???

 

Nope fuses are fine

 

so the other owner ran new wires threw the car stereo. check your wire connection on the speaker and put it to the original wire.

 

Yea he ran new wires to all 4 speakes, and hacked up the stock harness. The problem is, he did a shitty job, and it is hard to get at tings and see if it is wired correctly. The thing I can't figure out, is why won't the stock unit work now. Is there some type of security thing that disables the radio or somethinbg. I had to drive to the store while the radio was out.

 

OK, I found a fuse that was blown under the hood. Stock radio works. Put the pioneer unit it and it won't take cd,s and the face plate won't light up. I know it is getting power though because it beeps when I turn the car off. Anybody know?
