Pioneer 3200dvd PROBLEM!!!!!! helpppppppp meeeeeee...im soooooo angryyyyyyyyy with it

[Zeepian 10+ year member]

i just installed the pioneer 3200dvd and it is the greatest unit ive ever had. anybody who has this knows how you have to bypass it with a switch or relay..i have it up to a switch

a couple of days after the install...when i was driving i turned it up and the sound just clipped out and off....now i got no sound //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

this is really irrating cuz this thing is brand new...what would cause this?

should i look at the fuse resistors? can i change them/get rid of them?

everything works on the unit...just when i start the car when it comes on it makes one clippy noise and thats it....no more sound...

any ideass?

Hows it hooked up rcas to 4 channel or is it powering the speaker directly.

uninstall and reinstall radio... if you recently installed it then maybe a wire came loose. if that doesent work then start blaming the radio

powering the speakers directly...

Well is there any amplifiers in the car?

Your unit turns on ok and its just sound that is missing?

Look at the fuse box of your car - most likely. And at the back of the unit, there might be a fuse as well.

no amplifier except the stock....and yea the sound just doesnt work...i put my old radio in and sound works fine...

the back of the unit has one 10 amp fuse that the unit wouldnt turn on if it blew...

but it has 3 different wires with fuse resistors on them..one on the power...one on the dimmer....and one on the purple one...which i think has to do with it....its i think rear speakers...?

but why wouldnt the other speakers just play?

maybe if i cut that out and just run wire without the resistor something will happen?

Well there is possibility your blue wire for amplifier is out.

If amp is not on it will not direct sound anywhere.

now i tried to put my old radio back in, and the same thing happened. so i hoping its the harness...i just got one off ebay for 5 buckssss....

hopefully when it comes that will solve the problem...

but then again that'd be toooooooo easyyyyyyyyyyyy

He said he doesnt have an amp, running it off the headunit

Might be the harness, sound to me more like a short somewhere, check your ground/hots, preferably with a DMM, could check the harness with that too
