[QUOTE="plethera21, post: 2461404, member: 572592"] Just found out what happened. The above post was right on. I had small fuses between the fuse box and the new radio rated at 3amps. By putting the CD in the stereo, it blew the constant 12v fuse. The old radio "worked" because I didn't fully turn it on, and it used the lesser voltage to just power the face of the radio. By eliminating the little 3amp fuses and just relying on the main fusebox, everything worked out great. Thanks for the help! Also, shout out to my local circuit city, they tested my unit and for a minimal charge, fixed all my wiring and installed my radio (I think it was less than 25 bucks). [/QUOTE]
