Ok. Please Help. I bought a KVT-700 from an ebayer so I am not completely ruling out possible faulty equipment, but......I have it installed per the directions. Now, I wanted to bypass the parking brake, because I am using the unit as a gps display. Here is the problem: The display will not open or power on. There is power at the control module and power at the head unit. The green lights behind the volume and seek buttons are on. The red flasher/reset light flashes every so often and when it is pressed. I have the green (parking brake wire) connected to ground as to that is what the schematics showed it needed. Please help. I really do not want this to be a faulty unit. I WOULD BE LIVID!!!! lol Thanks in advanced. Oh, this is in a 2000 Grand Cherokee.

Do you also have the other two wires on the plug that the green ground wire is in connected.

I am grounding it to the factory ground wire. The one originally for the head unit.

Try regrounding it to sold metal. Also get out a DMM and see if both you 12 volts and Acc wires are fine

Same thing happened to me at first. Turned out I never turned my ignition to ACC. :D That stumped me for about 5 minutes.

Thanks to everyone for your assistance. I sent the unit to the repair shop. It is going to cost me $300+ to have it fixed!!! I am considering it a lesson learned when buying used electronics from ebay. One bad egg ruins it for the rest of the sellers. He told me that it worked when it was taken out of his car. Well it doesn't work now. The repair shop told me that it was 2 ICs and 3 diodes. I am really interested in what circuitry this was in. It would definitely tell me what he did to break it. Oh well....it is only money right? lol
