[QUOTE="cw021, post: 8812437, member: 686700"] i was hoping it would just be a new radio swap but it looks like i may need a new adapter for it (car runs mechanically fine and all unless the radio adapter is hooked up then that's when it really messes up and the radio will cut out and all the lights will flick) i haven't ever cut into the original harness because i was afraid of this happening tl:dr is the better option getting a new adapter that works online or taking it to a radio shop and having them do it?, i wasn't sure on having it diagnosed because it has no issues unless the adapter is in and all you have to do is wiggle it for it to work. i'm sure i could replace the adapter and all myself again (i've done it 6 times actually this week because of the old radio/new radio swaps and figure i'll just keep the new radio just incase i shorted the old one with the adapter, examples are: old radio only stays powered on the adapter for a few seconds even without volume, new radio will stay on until adapter flips type of thing) is there anything i should check besides the adapter incase? i've gone 1 by 1 to try and make sure any faults behind the wiring are simplified but it all seems to point to the adapter i bought 4 or so years ago (i guess it could fault running 2 12's continously+ 4 6x9's but i was hoping it wasnt lol) [/QUOTE]
