[QUOTE="CrazyNorman, post: 8387013, member: 665993"] I'm pretty sure I know what caused this problem, but I have no idea how to approach fixing it. This winter, I went out one day, and my battery was dead. A helpful neighbor came out, and offered to jump my car. Long story short, I look away for a second, I look back, he has the cables cross-wired Pos to neg, with a little bit of smoke coming out! Luckily my battery was so dead that nothing caught fire, and after connecting the cables correctly I was able to jump my car and be on my way. Only damage I've noticed is that the radio no longer works. The car drives fine, cruise control/dash work, etc, just no clock/radio. I checked the fuse and it was fine. Fast forward to today, I decided to replace my (assumedly) broken radio. I wired up a harness, plugged in the radio, and nothing, no power. I worked off of this manual: [URL="http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Sentra/2010/AV.pdf"]http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Sentra/2010/AV.pdf[/URL] for my 2010 Nissan Sentra. I did some debugging with a volt-meter, and what I found is that while ACC (page 14 pin 7) reads a normal 12v with the key set to ACC, BAT (page 14 pin 19) only reads ~1.1-1.2v. I'm thinking this is why the radio won't power on. I checked the harness I built and the resistance is low on both connections, but with BAT reading only 10% of the expected voltage. Any ideas or suggestions? [/QUOTE]
