duct_tape123 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Does the radio come on when you turn the truck on? Check for blown fuses at the factory fuse block and on back of radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 it works fine when the truck is either in the on position or on. it started doing this maybe 2 months ago. id just like to listen to the radio without having the truck in the on position. and yes, it worked when i first installed the head unit, now it doesnt.

duct_tape123 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I wouldn't think the ignition would go out that soon. If you can't get it working tap into something that works or wire a switch that you have to flip to turn the radio on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KckrL5s Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Have you pushed your power button when its on the acc position? I know its obvious but, ive had to push the power button before to get my old HU to turn on in the acc position. Quote 2009 spring fling-iasca-rookie 1-Champion. 139.4db.

ChevyBoy Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 yea ive pushed the power button, and im taking the h.u. out to ground my rca's sometime this weekend. i soldered everything in the harnesses, so ill check and make sure the pin didnt fall out of the harness. this isnt too big of a problem, id just like to know what went wrong.
