cant get avh-p3200bt to power on

[That1Kid]

This is my first time hooking up a head unit.

Trying to put in a 98 Expedition.

I connected the constant 12v, switched 12v, and ground wire. I pressed the reset button like the manual says, but the unit will not power on. What could be the problem? Do all the other wires need to be connected first? I have a feeling I already screwed it up beyond repair.

Thanks guys

Is the car on?

Check the fuse on the radio and try running your own power and ground to it. I had an issue one time where the power wire didn't work so I had to run my own. I have no idea why it quit working though. You could also make a new ground too.

Tried it with the car running...and with the key turned with the car not running.

Edit* jshark, i had the stock radio playing today. Fuse on the unit seemed fine. I wonder what would cause the power/ground to quit? I'll definitely try it though. Thanks man

Run a different 12v constant and switched wire from fuse panel and see if it works. Some harnesses they dont work for some reason.

Gonna try that when I get off work. Thanks

I have power at the 12 volt switch wire only now. I'm on the verge of hangin it up at this point.
