[QUOTE="Plutoman, post: 5482418, member: 601528"] Well, I decided it was about time I got off my lazy butt and installed the HU I've had sitting around for awhile. I've already rewired all my car - I didn't feel the need to bother with the factory wiring. But now I'm stuck in a rut. I didn't ever plan on reinstalling the factory system, when I get rid of my car, it'll be in a junkyard, so I didn't bother spending the money on a wiring harness. Just got the battery lead, and the ignition power, and the ground wires connected up. However, it won't turn on. I checked it out, and apparently I must have connected the wires at some point, when I reconnected my battery to test it, because my audio fuse was fried at the fuse box. Didn't seem to be any damage to the HU though - it just wouldn't turn on. Replaced the fuse, didn't help. Ideas? I'm going to take it into the local audio shop, as they know what they're doing, a good shop here. See what they think. However, I wanted some ideas first. See if I could fix this myself. Or if I possibly just killed my head unit. Old alpine model, CDM-9803, fyi. [/QUOTE]
