S Dime 420 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Need some help, tried to google it, but no answers. Just hooked up a new kenwood today and it will only turn in if the red and yellow wires are spliced together. Also my speedometer light doesn't come on now. I checked all the fuses, but none are blown. Vehicles is a 2001 S-10. Quote If anybody in the Sacramento area has a vehicle for sale for less than $1,500 get at me. I'm open to almost anything that runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S Dime 420 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Yeah, but I've installed other headunits before and they all worked fine. Went and bought a new adapter from AutoZone, for GM vehicles I believe.

bass_stalker Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 well it seems like either your constant power or switched power wouldn't be working then. unless you may have popped a fuse somewhere Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

sactownstang Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Get a dmm and check the red the yellow and the ground. when the car is on the red should have 12v. it should always have 12 volts on the yellow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SojiaRaggs9000 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Does that yellow line have a fuse on it? Might be popped.

S Dime 420 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I might try a DMM. What are all the major fuses that involve a headunit so I can double check them all? Actually the problems could be my fault. Before I installed the new kenwood, I was unhooking my amp and wasn't paying attention and the power, ground, and remote all touched together and caused a huge flash and loud noise.

Torres Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 whenever this issue happens to me, i don't deal with the headache and just run extra wires to the fuse block. takes a little extra time, but i still do it anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
