keiths Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 My aftermarket head unit was stolen out of my car a few months ago. It was fully working, no problems. It appears the person just pulled the old stereo out and left all of the wires in the car. I disconnect everything and hooked it up to my new head unit's wiring harness and now I have absolutely no power. I tested the new unit by putting the wires on the positive and negative on the battery and it powered on immediately. Does anyone have any suggestion on how I should troubleshoot this?I don't have a multi-meter right now but I have a feeling I should buy one. Please let me know where to start. Thanks!

Josh Estepp Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 If you have a test light make sure that you have 12V at the wiring harness. You can also look on the packaging for the metra kits have color coded diagram on the back it shouldnt be that hard to figure out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survolvo Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Check the fuses, might have shorted some wires and popped one when they yanked out the old Unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvo_s60turbo Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yeah I shorted a fuse out on my s60 cutting a wire on my aftermarket headunit once. Its an easy fix just pop out the fuse and replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
