[QUOTE="vaultroamer92, post: 8316175, member: 646183"] Ok so here's a bit of an update. I hooked up another stereo and it is having the same issues so I know it's not my stereo. I was looking at the wiring harness from Scosche and the plugs that connect to the harness. The plugs that come from the stock wiring in my car don't have wires running into some of the slots so essentially the wires that go from the Scosche harness SHOULD work but they aren't able to plug into anything so that's probably my issue. So I suppose my next question is this. Should I contact Scosche and see if they can get me a different harness that will work or should I look around and see if anyone else has a harness that looks like it will fit? Or would it be better to try and find the original wiring diagrams for the car and either have it rewired or wire it myself? Another side note is that I noticed when I unplugged the stock stereo and stock amp/equalizer my fans have gone a little wonky. They work but every time I turn the key to ACC the fans will cut on and then off. They also randomly shut off when I have the fans running. It almost seems like the fans were somehow wired into the stereo or amp/equalizer. I have a feeling I'm going to end up needing someone to look at it and do it professionally. I really don't want to do that because of the excess cost. At the same time I don't want to do it myself (although I'm certain I could) because I fear I would wire it up wrong and end up with some of my electrical systems not working. [/QUOTE]
