Help With Ideas For Installing Headunit In 2000 Cavalier


Recommended Posts

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

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.

ATTENTION ALL SMD MEMBERS: Do not under any circumstance buy anything from Chassistech! They do not stand behind their products & their customer service is horrible. They do not actually manufacture lowering springs, they drop ship them from Spring Tech. Chasistech.com also does business as Airbagit.com, Streetridepro.com & Truckinsuspension.com. They are all the same company! Do not trust these bastards! Their products are cheap & more often than not, you don't get what you actually order in the first place! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

the only one that matters is the one connected to the radio itself. if there is one on the chevy harness ignore it

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

Correct. 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. Those Stupid ass Chevy data lines are a pain in the ass.

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

Ok so just ignore the other wire altogether. Im not talking about the factory harness.

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. PM me your phone # & I'll explain it to you.
