Hi guys,

      I have a 92 Spirit. I removed the factory deck and tried installing a sony xplode deck. I connected it without the speakers first (checked to see wich wires did what from the cars wiring harness ) and it powered up and everything was fine.

    So I disconnected it and connected one speaker to see if it would work. Then reconnected the battery, constant, remote and ground, but the deck would not illuminate. It gets power, because I can eject and insert a CD.

    I removed the wires and checked that all were working well from the cars harness. The power wire is good. However the constant wire does not work anymore. I get a big 0 with the voltmetre.

Anyone have any clue as to why the constant would just stop working (from the cars wire harness not the deck ) ?

Thank you........

c'mon Napoleon

Check all your fuses. There are fuses inside the car and might be some under the hood also.

the constant circuit on many new radios powers the O/P stage... if you have the speaker wiring incorrect or a pinch or short on a speaker wire, you'll blow the B/U fuse right away ( or the O/P stage of the HU )... i would suspect you had something hooked up wrong RE: your speaker wiring.....

OK, If all else fails can steal power from the accessorie wire ( powered when ignition switch is on ) for the constant ?

you'll want a 12volt all the time on the wire not switched or you will lose all you preset settings

Constant 12V+Red Ignition Switch Harness

I would first check you fuses no use doing extra work  if you don't need to
