Just connecting the antenna will not isolate your problem. At this point we do not know if you have a ground or power problem. Your factory radio grounds through the mounting brackets when they are bolted to the dash of the vehicle. Your factory radio had no chance of coming on if you did not mount it. You need to hook it back up and ground it. You now have 3 possible problems. Constant power source, ground wire of your aftermarket deck, or a faulty aftermarket deck.

Since your factory deck will not come on when this happens, there is an issue with the constant power wire from your vehicle. It is the wire that is connected to the Yellow wire of your aftermarket deck. Since you have no meter for troubleshooting, it will probably be easier to get a 14 Ga. wire and an In-line fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse. First run the wire from the deck to the battery, connect it to the Yellow wire of the deck. Under the hood, connect the fuse holder to the other end of the wire and then connect the other end of the fuse holder to the battery. Insert the fuse and you should be good to go.

So I did this and my HU is back and has stayed on longer than it has in months. I don't think I will be having anymore problems. Thanks man, if I could buy you a beer I would.

It is so nice to have my music back in my car.
