Antenna causes headunit to not work


Recommended Posts

Posted

well i have a jvc kd 6140 headunit. i know its not the best. but for the car its in, its the best its gonna see. my deck wont cut on unless the antenna is plugged in. i had the stock car antenna in for awhile but if i hit too many bumps on my godforsaken dirt road it would go fuzzy. so i bought a new antenna and tried installing it today and now my radio wont turn on. i had everything unplugged and all the necessary precautions so i wouldnt screw my car up anymore than it is. so any help or suggestions would be great. i need this done asap lol. a car with no music is worthless. please help !!!!!

so check the wiring harness on the head unit ? i checked it earlier after i tried the antenna and everything was exactly how i had it before the new antenna. is there a way to ground it a different way?
