Hi all! Been a while since I've been the forum. But I have a problem I need to fix as quick as possible!
I installed a head unit in a friend's 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport, (Sony XPlod...not sure on model # ATM, but I can find it if necessary). All seemed well, until later on in the evening he turned his headlights on, and the head unit basically power-cycled, i.e. turned off, then right back on. It does the same thing when turning the headlights off...power cycles off then back on.
Is there something I could have wired wrong? I wired the harness the same as I have any other time, and I have never encountered this issue. Bad ground, maybe? I didn't use the illumination wire (can't remember why right now, but I know I did it deliberately.)
Any help is greatly appreciated! I hope to be able to remedy this ASAP, since it isn't my vehicle. Thanks in advance!
