so I installed a jvc deck into my 97 ranger the issue that I am having is it will only power up when the key is off and it would only eject cds and display time. from the 12v constant the strange thing is that the deck powered on fully functional prior to unplugging it to fit it into the dash. but once mounted properly it failed to work. i replace the adapter harness and it powered on for a few seconds before shutting down again. it would seem like a fuse was blown but i have checked all fuses. The only way I have been able to get it to work is to bypass the red wire by hooking the red wire directly to the battery. thus I am not getting power from the red wire 12v ignition. how do I go about trying to figure out where my problem is? or is there another place i can splice into so that the radio powers on when started?
