jsmoke222000 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) ok, Now I understand. You purchased a cheap $10 harness from Walmart instead of the expensive module. That is ok. The only thing you really gain by having the module is the factory chimes. Anyway, the cheap harness you bought will work just fine with the exception of the red acc wire. Hook all other wires up between your radio & the harness you bought normally. Discard the red wire on the cheap harness you bought, it won't work. The GM data line will not power up that wire, that's what the module is for. To resolve that issue run a wire from your fuse box windshield wiper fuse to your radio & attatch yhat wire to the red wire going to your radio. everything should work just fine. If you have any more trouble, post here & the car audio gods will again bail you out. Good luck. Edited April 11, 2009 by jsmoke222000 Quote Jared Nixon A.K.A.

Bumpindemlowzz Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks for the help i wouldnt have thought that the power wire in that harness wouldnt work. Anyone wanna explain to a dummie how to correctly wire it to a fuse box. 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 ok, find the fuse for the wipers or a fuse that powers up with the keys turned on, remove the fuse, wrap a wire around one of the metal prongs on the fuse, plug the fuse back in, connect the other end of the wire to the red wire coming off of your radio.

Ok i thought it was something alittle more difficult like soldering to the backside of the fusepanel. Thats easy enough.

emperorjj1 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 you should solder on to the fuse itself instead of just ramming wire in Quote J.

jsmoke222000 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Soldering the connection would be much better but I assumed you probably didn't have the tools to do that. If you do, by all means, solder it. Quote Jared Nixon A.K.A.

If you do, by all means, solder it. I got the deck in and works fine but once i hit a certian volume the deck it shuts off and reboots. Any ideas with that? It seems once i turn the bass and tremble down it quites shutting off automatically. Is it drawing too much power? I have the power tapped into the wiper fuse until i solder later.
