07 cobalt radio not turning on

[Falcons 5,000+ posts]

I hooked up a line out converter and it worked fine. Then I put in a toggle switch using the radio 12v constant and now the radio won't turn on. Everything is connected. Any ideas?

Try running the toggle to a different power source,you cant use the same source for the same unit??Try hooking up to Aux, or battery

Be sure to check that fuse also to make sure you didnt blow it, or just change it out to be sure..sometimes you can tell if its blown.Just a suggestion to add to.

I completely took the toggle switch out as a factor. And where is the radio fuse? Looked everywhere can't find one.

It should be in the fuse box under the dash/Glovebox, some may be under the hood too.If its not a stock HU, then the fuse is behind the HU chassis

Yeah I already checked the fuse box. And it's not on the radio.

Check again.Could be in the one under the hood next to the battery man.Look in glovebox too.Dont know the car, but i know that it has to be fused/all electrical in vehicles.

If you dont find it, you can go up to Orielys, and they can pull it up on computer and show you.They will do it for free.I couldnt find the PVC valve for a 90 honda hatch, and they pulled it up for me,and it was hard to find,even the pict they had in the repair manuels

this is still pissing me off. i read that the BCM can turn off the head unit if it is tampered with. could that be the problem?

mast-im running the stock hu. i put in the toggle switch. used the 12v constant red/white wire and ran it that way.

kramer-i didnt unhook any wires. just spliced the plastic coating over the wires and wrapped the line output converter and the remote wires that way. when i put in the lineout it worked fine. sub bumped and everything. the girl just wanted a toggle switch put in and now im having problems.
