I bought a Pioneer head unit, and a harness for my car and figured I would simply splice the colored wires together and plug the connectors together and it would would work, but ofcourse, it doesn't. I untaped all the wires and taped them back together twice, and it still didn't work, so I put the stock deck back in and it didn't work either. The car is a 1996 isuzu Rodeo and everything is connected fine. I tried all the fuses and even swapped the audio one for my rear tailight fuse and it still didn't work. Does anyone have an idea what happened? Could the wires be fried? What should I do? -Matt

You've stil got a fuse blown somewhere most likely. Keep checking.

Where did you get the wiring diagram from to wire up to the Isuzu ?

I didn't, I bought a harness for the deck and one for the truck then spliced the same colors on each one together. Even if I spliced the wrong wires, why wouldn't the stock deck work? Also, I used a voltometer and found that there is no power going to the harness when the car is running. Matt

You probably blew a fuse while installing. If a battey constant 12v+ hit ground (easy to do) then it'd blow the fuse. I'd check both the kick panel fuses, and under the hood, often it's easy to miss a blown fuse under the hood. The fuse box should be right next to the battery. There's a 90% chance that this is the problem. Let us know if you get it!

try running a new ground or tapping into the metal behind the radio I have noticed that some geos and isuzus do not have a ground in the factory harness even though there is a spot for it.

What model number Pioneer deck do you have ? I'm just curioous if the colors that you spliced together were the wrong ones and you may have shorted out your deck.

first things first.take a test light or V O M and verify 12volts,on the switched lead&constant lead. and check the ground with an ohm meter,make sure it has very low resistantsto ground ,and turn on your parking lights while your checking your ground. most of the time you park light (dashlight)lead will test ground.if there off,if everthing tests ok and your wiring is all good ,soldered or crimped. then there is a deck problem.if you have no constant 12v check under the hood for a blown fuse check w/ test light do not just look at it. craig wilson installer17years ------------- craig wilson
