[QUOTE="85Caprice4d, post: 4567538, member: 578455"] so i had the new hu runnning when the stock was still hacked and electrical taped up. i thought it would be a better idea to have it connected with butt connectors, so i had my friend hook it all up and to the eye it seems to be right. so we got the amp wired up, and i wired the subs up, and then when i westart the went to start the car, it started and wouldnt stay running. it shut off immediatley. i didnt know what the problem was, so i disconnected the power wire from the battery. i still got the same problem. after a few minutes of walking around in circles and *****ing, i decided that there was nothing i did that was wrong. then i looked at the wiring my friend did. it was all wired correctly, and nothing appeared to be wrong. but i figure what the **** and unhooked the wiring harness. then the car started. so i hooked it back up. no starty. then i unhooked again and it started, but when i hooked it all back up it worked. i realized this little blue box thing that came with the harness was not hooked up. i turned the car off, and hooked up the blue box, and no starty again. now the problem, when we had the wires with electrical tape, we wired up the harness, and it worked. then my friend hooked up the butt connectors, and no power to hu. im thinking that maybe one of the wires got disconnected from the harness?? flame away if you feel its necessary. i didnt have much time to go over the wiring my friednd did because the chick had to leave, but from what i saw all the colors were matched and the wires were snug in the butt connectors. the thing that bothers me is that the blue box that came with the wiring harness should not be causing the car not to run?? im not to sure what it is or what it does, but when we had it all running on the hack job, the blue box beeped when the door was open and such...idk im going to look at it tomorrow so if anyone knows about newer gms and what the blue box does exactly that would help.
