it should be hooked up to the blue/white from the aftermarket radio. did you have a resistor come with your wire harness when you bought it? have you tested whatever wire you have your amp turn on currently hooked up to to confirm your theory that it is staying on? or are you guessing? |

A resistor did not come with the wire harness from crutchfield. I took the head unit back out and here is what I have connected:
Factory Harness------------------------------------------Crutchfield Harness-----------------------Pioneer Headunit Harness
Lt. GREEN/ Violet (12VDC Battery)---------------------Yellow (12VDC Consistant)-------------Yellow (12VDC Consistant Battery)
Black (Ground)--------------------------------------------ORANGE / Black (Ground)-------------------Not connected, taped off
BLACK/ Pink (Swtiched Accessory)---------------------Red (12VDC Ignition Switched)--------Red (12VDC Switched Accessory)
Lt. Blue/Red (Illumination)------------------------------Orange (Illumation)------------------------Not connected, taped off
GREEN/ Black (Ground)------------------------------------Black (Ground)-----------------------------Black (Chassis Ground)
ORANGE / Lt. Blue (Remote Turn on output)----------Blue (Power Antenna)--------------------Not connected, taped off
Blue (Mute)--------------------------------------------------Blue/White (Amp Turn On)--------------Blue/White (System control of power amp or auto-antenna 12VDC Switched)
When fuse number 27 in the central junction box under the dash for the amp is plugged in, my speakers work and eventually the battery will run down. When the fuse removed, the speaker will not work and so far the battery has not ran down with the fuse removed.
With the wires connected as the diagram above, I have to have the Blue (mute) wire from the factory harness, connected to the Blue/White wires coming from the crutchfield harness and the head unit. I connected a test light to this wire and the blue (mute) is a switched wire, when the ignition is on i have power on that wire, when the ignition is off or the head unit is off, i have no power. So to me that is working correctly? The ORANGE / Lt. Blue (remote turn on) wire does not have any power. Yellow has consistant power no matter what position the ignition is in, and the Red switched accessory only has power when the car is running or ignition is on accessory.
If i leave fuse 27 in and measure for power there at the fuse box, i have consistant power on fuse 27 no matter what position the ignition is in. This is what led me to believe that the amp is always on and causing the battery to run down. The battery did not start to run down until a few days after the new head unit installation.
Do I have this wired correctly, or do I have something wrong that is causing something to stay on, therefore causing the battery to run down?
