Sid420 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I have a new Kenwood kdcx497. I have hooked everything up except for my speaker wire because they are being amped but the hu will not turn on or anything. I don't know what to do anymore. Please help!

CleanSierra Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 You probably have your 12V (red) hooked up incorrectly. You may need to run it to a fuse with a fuse tap. Google it, that's likely your issue and why your deck isn't firing up. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid420 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I am replacing a aftermarket Pioneer heaunit I hooked everything up the same exact way and nothing. I'm saying this because if I need the fuse tap why didn't I need it for the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't turning on, either you goofed and mismatched a wire or your HU is DOA. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Pioneerchuck Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 If you havent hooked up the speaker wiring on the harness and its a simple install then you literally have 4 connections that need to be made.. Red - ignition switched Yellow - 12V(+) Black - ground Blue (maybe white striped) - remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
