hi all .need some help can't seem to get my cd player too work in my 1989 nissan pick-up the unit is an jvc kd-s580 model i had an old cassette player in it before it was neg ground ,and what l've done was just hooked the yellow wire that comes fr the unit to the red wire and the blk to blk but the unit comes on then shuts off hope some one can help me out there i was thinking it was the unit but i went and bought another one and does the same thing help thks .
The factory nissan ground wire is useless. Run a ground wire directly to the chassis and you should have yourself a working cd player.
i tried that no go !here's whats the wires are at the end of the truck .
RED / green strip
large brown wire
GREEN / WHITE strip
3 GREEN/ 1 solid/1 with blk strip/1 with red strip.
3 gray/1 solid/1 with blk strip/1 with red strip .
Here is the correct wiring diagram for your truck, make the proper connections, and you shouldn't have any problems.
Be sure to check your wires with a DMM before making connections. If you still have power failure after that, then check all of your fuses.

some of the wires in the chart for the 89 nissan don't match mine also maybe it's becuse i have a 4x4 would that make a differance ? also do i have to hook all the speaker wires for it to power up ? thks
All you need to power it up are constant 12v, switched 12v, and ground.
To test to be shure the cd player is working twist the 2 12v wires together on the cd player (red and yellow) touch them to the positive post on your battery, and the black (ground) wire to the ground post on your battery.
I still say your haveing a ground problem. How did you test it? did you just touch the ground wire? or did you actually put on a ring terminal and drill a self tapping screw into the metal frame back there?
thks alot 97pathy it's working kool i didn't have the red hooked up fr the unit to the red fr the truck now that i have the 2 reds and thr yellow hooked up it's working thks amillion everyone .
