[QUOTE="M-Town, post: 734041, member: 548405"] Recently purchased a Alpine HU to replace my Jensen. I removed the old HU and got all the wires stripped and ready to splice together with my new HU. To check and see if the HU would power up I connected the power wire, the ignition wire and the ground. I can not get it to power up. I got out my volt meter and tested the wires, 13.6v +/- on the power wire, 0.6 on the ignition wire, and the ground wire tested out ok as well. I turned my ignition and nothing happened to the HU, started my engine..revved it, volts went up to 14.4 +/- still nothing. The fuse on the HU is fine. What is odd is I tried this same routine with the HU I just removed and it had the same symptoms. The only thing I can think of being a problem is the somewhat odd wiring job that the last HU had, but even then..it should still power up the way I have it right? I can't figure out what the problem is..anyone have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
