[QUOTE="HenryH, post: 6930250, member: 624679"] OK, I know it's bad form to answer your own question but I finally saw what I hadn't been seeing. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit how easy the fix was in this case. First, to answer my first question, the second apparent ground wire from the car probably isn't needed. It's nice to have redundant grounds, but they aren't required. As for why it wasn't coming on, it's because in the time I haven't been using the Pioneer, I forgot that pushing the volume dial is NOT how you turn the unit on. There is a small, inconspicuous power switch below it. Actually turning the unit on with that worked. I feel a little stupid but at least I figured it out and I have a working sound system in my van. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read my question and I'm sorry for bothering you. [/QUOTE]
