hey guys, I'm having an issue with my radio. I'm not getting any power to it, no before you even ask if I wired it correctly, yes. I know what I'm doing. I'm wondering if the wiring harness i got is the wrong one? it fits everything looks fine, just no power. if anyone knows what the problem might be, HELP! thanks.

 

I believe and I could be totally wrong, but i think you had to repin the aftermarket harness', but as to which pins, i dont know. sorry for my uselessness.

 

did you connect the red wire to a fuse ( like the windshield wiper)??

<<<<<not true

 

yeah you dont have an acc wire on your harness, its gettting power just not the turn on power lead from a fuse. hook it to a wiper or sunroof fuse.

 

Was your stereo base model or mp3 cd w pioneer system?

I think the red and white wire is the power wire fuse #23 it is a 15 amp fuse in the side of the centre consol. It has power all the time. Then you need a switched wire Use an add a fuse or tap into a switched cct.
Hope this helps
Ciao,C

 

well, i got it taken care of. It was the red wire. My ******* friend that works at betbuy gave me the harness for a 2004 Saturn. it fits, but the pins are wrong. I just re-wired the power line. it's all good now, thanks a lot guys, wish i would've read all these a lot earlier, i wouldn't have been working on this for six hours.

but thanks again guys, I really appreciate it.

 

like i said i could have been very wrong

 

I like how I called the positive the "red wire." Boy, I really sound like i know what I'm talking about when i say dumb crap like that. lol. Anyways, the head units done, i got my ipod adapter hooked up as well. The system sounds amazing now. I just have to get around to putting all the interior speakers switched out. oh boy.

 

Im having some of the same things, but im getting power to my head unit just no sound. The harness is for a 05 cobalt and i have an 06 i think the harness is wrong does anyone have any part#'s or can help me. Also yes all the wire are hook up right, just to be sure we tired everything we could think of. Thats why my harness wires are like 3in now lol and we tired with 2 other head units as well.

 

I made a post with part #s for the Harness, make sure you have the right one or you wont get any sound.

 

can u port the part# i cant seem to find it anywhere
