[QUOTE="QuikSilverRS91, post: 6819668, member: 552763"] He said the wires were cut and reconnected. Probably not in the best way, but they were. A wiring issue (dirty contact, loose pin in the plug, poor connection) would have been clearly evident when he removed the radio. There would have been cutting in and out. The fact that in one scenario the speakers work 100% and in the other they work 0% leads us to believe it's not wiring. The only thing that changed in the whole thing is the power being removed and reapplied to the head unit. The static doesn't mean it's shorted out in wiring, just that it's receiving a bad signal. The deck could have an internal short causing this, as well as about 15 other things. If it was shorted wiring the deck would likely be popping fuses or overheating once it was turned on (because it has a direct output to a ground), and there wouldn't be any sound playing when the plug was removed and replaced. The only wiring issue that could be happening here is a loose/poor connection on the accessory wire. Even then, the problem reappears when only turning the key on and off (and not when moving the wire). What the hell is dirty juice? Assuming you're referring to some type of bad signal, your wiring assumption would still be incorrect. If the speaker wires are shorted out, the signal wouldn't matter at all. Sending X signal to a shorted speaker will not cause it to play when sending Y signal to the shorted speaker didn't work. Anyway, yes, check your wiring again. Don't get too in depth, but make sure you have good connections at the plug. I would be extremely surprised to find out it wasn't the deck. [/QUOTE]
