[QUOTE="coolest35, post: 8611065, member: 674132"] 1. Its a chinese android head unit (seems to be built well, no issues when it worked briefly) 2. I checked the harness to make sure it's the correct version after my initial troubles, and it seems to check out on what its suppose to be. I hope this doesn't end up being an issue at the end of the day. 3. My ground wire is a circular pin type, which I have inserted between a bolt attaching to the chasis, so unlikely to have come loose, unless I tugged on the harness too much and accidentally loosened it, thus not being grounded anymore, I will try what you suggested and connect an additional wire to the chassis to see if this solves the problem. Thanks for the suggestions!

EDIT: Okay, rechecked the ground, its bolted down to chassis, can't imagine this to be a problem. 1st try: Put in fresh fuse, retried red-red-yellow connection.. result: blown fuse 2nd try: Put in fresh fuse, connected only red-red connection.. result: no blown fuse, no activity with head unit 3rd try: Working fuse, connected the red-red-yellow (yellow that is going to HU), result: fuse gets blown as soon as I plug into HU. The black wire going to the HU harness, is grounded as above. As soon as the yellow wire is hooked in.. the fuse gets blown. WTF! Possible issue: Bad stock HU harness? [/QUOTE]
