Head Unit Problems

[audiobahngods 10+ year member]

Guys this is not my first install, but I'm at a loss. I hooked up a JVC KD-HDR20 in my daughter's car, and it wont power on. I tried to reset it like the manual said, but no luck. She has a 2002 escort.

Any ideas?

Get a dmm and check the power, acc, grounds etc

if you didn't disconnect the battery when you started the install, then you could have blown a fuse. check the fuses first.

did you use a wiring harness adapter (like from Metra)? how did you make connections (tape, solder, crimp)? a DMM can certainly help you verify you have +12V constant and ignition.

Does that H/U have an internal/external fuse?

I haven't had time to really take my time with it. I did use crimps. It has an external fuse checked it, and thats ok. I bought the install kit and it had the wiring harness in it for her escort. Thanks for the input. I will check for power monday.
