Bumpindemlowzz Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 just acc to wiper fuse. On the headunit theres a battery and a 12 volt switched wire what should i do? Just twist them both together and make a run to the battery? I dont know about splicing into other stuff. When i do twist them together and find power the headunit says malfunction or something... I really want this up and going soon Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmoke222000 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Just T-tap your accessory wire in your ignition harness. If that is too much trouble, go to the fuse box with your red (acc) wire & use the wiper fuse or a fuse that powers up with the car on. Quote Jared Nixon A.K.A.

emperorjj1 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 the only one that matters is the one connected to the radio itself. if there is one on the chevy harness ignore it Quote J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red wire on the cars wiring harness will not work & is not needed. Just hook up your red wire on the wiring harness from the radio to your fuse box.

Its an alpine cda 9874 battery wire should be the yellow constant the 12v switched should be the red acc that you need to run a wire to the fuse box Quote J.

Just hook up your red wire on the wiring harness from the radio to your fuse box. Those Stupid ass Chevy data lines are a pain in the ass. Ok so just ignore the other wire altogether. Im not talking about the factory harness. Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmoke222000 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 NO NO NO. What do you have? Did you buy a cheap wiring harness for like $10 from walmart. If so, the red wire on that harness will not work! Hook all other wires up normally including the yellow wire. Run the red wire off of your deck to the fuse box.
