Headunit not working, but illuminating

ViCiouS · 12-19-2013, 05:06 PM

Well I figured out how to make it work but not where the source of the problem is. The yellow wire (constant 12v power), is not actually supplying any power. I ran wire directly from the battery for this and the radio works fine.

Obviously I could run wire and make it work this way, but I would like to solve the issue all together. Any idea where to go from here?

Sounds like your harness is messed up like a 2013 370z I did. meaning the pins didn't match up. Did you verify that none of the pins got pushed out of your aftermarket harness?

yup they are all good. Like i said, the stock radio won't work now either. I made an led current tester (wire, resistor, led, wire) to check the wires. Yellow alone isn't working out of the dash harness.

I'm thinking i'll just end up splicing a constant power from the 12v outlet in the center console.

On another note, since you seem to have experience with 370 installs. What produces better base in the Z, sub facing back or sub facing upwards and slightly forward? Will be 2200 rms as many cubes as i can fit tuned to 28-32 hz.
