01ExSport Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 When you unhook your car battery with an Alpine, on mine at least, you have to hit power or standby for it to turn on. Hopefully it'll be the same for you. Quote

Guest Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 check fuses under the hood labeled "stereo" or something like that. check onboard fuse on headunit. Quote

01ExSport Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Also, I'd whip out the multimeter and see if you're getting power to constant and acc if the fuses are a no-go. You'd more than likely see a popped one in the relay though. Quote

Names_jeff Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Posted May 13, 2012 Checked the fuzes in the hood. There all good. Is there a fuze behind the deck? Or an inline fuze or something. With a deck like this you would think there would be a protect or something instead of just frying it. Any aideas? Quote
01ExSport Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 There should be mostly likely a 10A fuse on the back on the H/Uitself. Quote
Robert8252 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Also under or on the side of your dash you should have fusing which is where the fuse would be for the radio, cluster, dome lights, etc...
