Have you pulled the radio and checked for power and ground on the connector? Should be like this: Pin 4 (Pink): 12V constant Pin 5 (Vio/Wht): Ignition Switched 12V Ground attached to a lug on the chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifixit8 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 checked fuse and ground...both good no its a aftermarket PIONEER CD player like i said it was perfect b4 all this and for some reason it just won't turn on...i can't for the life of me figure out why?? if you take a volt meter to the constant and the switched wires to ground, you should have voltage on both. if everything is good, then I'd say blown radio. if speakers we're blown the radio would still power up, just not produce sound. same thing goes for speaker wires that are grounding out.

luke87 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 could be the ignition switch. check on top of ur steering column. there should be a blue plug/connector. i had the same problem, and it turned out the plug was melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 It's not the ignition switch, speakers, etc. Turn on the key w. the radio removed and check the following pins on the radio harness plug (if it's still there): Pin 4 (Pink): 12V constant Pin 5 (Vio/Wht): Ignition Switched 12V Ground attached to a lug on the chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
