[QUOTE="gleep52, post: 7702755, member: 640862"] I'm no expert, but my thoughts are - your system has a system that is controlled via computer. In my 06 Chrysler, there is one wire on my factory harness that is for the can bus system - that line is for digital signals, not a 12 volt on or off wire. It is orange, which I almost hooked it up to the dimmer wire for my head unit. Thankfully my radio actually had the pin-outs labeled right on the deck, so I knew not to hook up that wire or I would have fried my control module. I think you might have done some serious damage - but I could be totally wrong and it might be nothing like what I'm talking about... If you disconnect your new head-unit completely and put the stock one in, and the problem goes away - then at least you haven't done permanent damage. If the problem goes away with the factory head unit installed, chances are either something is wrong in your wiring or perhaps something is wrong with your head unit. If the problem doesn't go away with the factory head unit - chances are - you've got a bigger problem than you want. Fingers are crossed for you buddy - hope someone has better news for you than I do. [/QUOTE]
