Only on a fawking pioneer because of the worlds stupidest ground pico fuse design flaw.
Yet another thread where this flaw has caused the user problems. Please kill me if I ever buy a pioneer HU. Clearly I must have had brain damage before the purchase.

stf noob it isnt the pico fuse moron read the thread any deck will short out if the rca center pin touches ground u stupid idiot

dimple he is full of shit ignore him

the rca is grounding out is all any deck will do it.

Interesting. I never was aware of this.
So you mean it only happens with Pioneer HUs, none other?

Lets say if I am in the same situation but running a different HU, I wouldnt be experiencing any short?

Correct pioneer is the only one that does this stupidest stuff including pico fuses and failing parts. YOUR PROBLEM does not correspond to that problem but I agree with the others they can be shorting themselves on in the back of the head unit. I am an alpine guy but you have a double din so if you were to ever upgrade go with a kenwood 6140 built in garmin gps and built in parrot blu tooth. Very nice head unit.

Quit spewing your ignorant hatred for Pioneer. Just because you had one pioneer deck crap out on you because you didn't know how to install it doesn't mean they ****. I know, you have been installing car audio since you were 8 years old... lol

Hah okay guys I think it is the RCAs, I am going to tape it up no worries. my dumbass forgot to test it this morning lol. I woke up early so I could send my explorer into shop for a few repairs on the viper alarm system. It was early so I did not even think about the RCAs and the music.

I will update y'all when I have the vehicle back and taped up the RCAs

hornedfrog1985- not sure if your sn means anything, but I'm sorry that Horned Frogs lost last night. I was rooting for them ha. I think if they sent it into OT, they would have won it.

Yeah, they hurt Shonn Greene last year too. They have a lot of starters coming back next year so I'll have that to look forward to.

Really? didnt realize they hurt Greene last year. Must be some kind of a karma against NW lol

Hey guys, I am still experiencing music cutting out just for quick sometimes while driving. It could be anytime, not when I go over bumps, and my amps are hooked good and no grounding issues.

What do I need to do to solve this?

I am thinking that maybe it is because I grounded the head unit on the metal cage behind the dash, the unit might be touching the ground point? I might try take it out and redo the ground location. But I got a feeling that it is something else because it was fine at first.

Keep your RCAs from grounding, ****.

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

they r not grounding out?? Everything is hooked up properly.

da-mn, what was that "f---" for?

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

any other ideas??

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

this shit is getting old, any ideas?

on other hand, what am i supposed to do to ground the RCAs. I might have nothing to do during spring break so I will just do that if possible.
