I never post anymore but this is a true dilema that I am in and I have no idea where to go next.
This is blatent proof to me that there is a law of the universe that if you modify it, it will break, and it won't be easy to fix.... especially if you are a horrible person and carma owes you a couple.
Anyway, I've been running into the problem that my stock head unit has not been working when I start the car and it randomly decides to come on. Once it turned on though it was good as gold. I made a mild observation that it worked better with the air on and in colder temps so I figured it was just old, broken, ect.
I had a old head unit my friend gave me that is still decent so I figured I'll swap them and end of story. I was playing last night just to see if I could wire it myself (car domain sent me the wrong frigging wireing harness) and I just got the power, the ground and the ilumination hooked up... all is good. Fast foward to today, I start messing around with it in the afternoon and keep wireing and then when I'm done... the damn thing won't work. I figure I wired it wrong so I slowly start taking the wires off till I get to the original ground, power and illumination.... still not working. Then it hits me that it was about 50 when I was working last night and now it's about 70.
I can only conclude that the problem is deeper in the wireing or something.... I just don't know where. Any advice from the audio gurus?
