JVC KD-G230 and VW Jetta 97

[jgn118]

I have a 97 jetta and hooked up a JVC KD-G230 head unit. It got hooked up last summer. Always worked. The speakers were going in or out so i took the head unit out to find that most of the wires were not connected well anymore. I reconnected the wires and now all that happens is the eject button turns it on for 3 seconds and the display shows the time for 3 seconds. No other power works. It saves the time so the yellow cord has power and the black ground wire has power as well. I believe it is in the ignition wire. The radio fuse i already replaced because it was blown. Also the fuse in the head unit is fine. What could be causing this?

?? i'm saying that the black wire (aka. ground wire) is getting 12v of power, and so is the yellow cord..

wow....12 volts at the ground? you definitely need to relocate that "black wire" to its proper location i.e. a ground.
