Anyone repair pioneer headunits?

[plugitin 5,000+ posts]

i have a pioneer 9800bt, she doesnt work. It worked right after i hooked her up, then after i shut off the car it just wont work again. I thought the harness was the problem as the ground wire was a little messed up, so i got a new harness and it doesnt click in for some reason, even though they look the exact same. It wont work when i hook up wires directly to the ground and power/ign pins. Anyone out there help me?

Buy a genuine plug from pioneer, or even take the unit with you to a car audio store that sells pioneer and ask them to test it in there sound board.... also there is a small reset button on the face of the unit.

Its a Mini 10a fuse on pioneers. Its red, plugs right under the harness (infact its covered by the plug when its installed).

Lets see the pics.
