did you check the ground that would give you a problem. you could use another wire to find where you are losing power

If it's an aftermarket deck, yes it should have one... it's usually solid blue...

I was mistaken, blue/white is the remote, solid blue would be power antenna //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif...
