Okay I have a pretty puzzling problem here, I am installing a new radio head unit into my truck because the old one is pretty much shot but still has power and works just crackles and fades out of the stations a lot, besides that, I bought a radio harness adapter for the head unit and wired it all correctly according to AllData and the radio so I plug it in all happy that I'm going to be able to listen to a clean channel and lolno. No power at all to the unit, I rechecked everything and all checked out still didn't work. I went to the fuse and the fuse was okay took a volt meter out and checked for voltage and no power at all even at the fuse. plugged the old radio in to find that it didn't work now.. rechecked all connections and good took another swing at the volt meter and no power still.. one last attempt I looked and saw that the antenna lead was disconnected so I pluged it into the old radio and it started working again, took the old radio back out and put my new one in and nothing even with the antenna lead hooked up properly. The new radio was in my other vehicle where it worked just fine no problems, the fuse in the back of the head unit is good too? What am I missing? Please help!
Thanks, Tony
