CJ18 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I am trying to test a headunit and am trying to hook it up direct to a battery. I am wiring the red and yellow to the positive and black to ground. This should work but it isnt. If someone has done this and knows what I am doing wrong please tell me. This headunit was working just fine when it was uninstalled. Am I missing something here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ18 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have bypassed anywhere there is a fuse. How do I ground the antenna? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyFriery97 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 All that it should take is the power and ignition on 12v and then ground. Remote doesn't needa power. It should turn on like that does the radio have a fuse on the back? Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote I believe is used to power your amp when the h/u is on. CJ: thats the way I've tested h/u before and it worked, h/u fuse not burnt?
