The installer at the shop wired a new ignition (yellow) wire to the head unit and it turned on. He tested the factory amp and said its fried and to get a new one or unplug the harness below the amp and connect to new harness i bought then manually wire the speakers to the new harness and vualla. Does this sound accurate? Is there anything i need to know before i go about doing this, tips etc. |

QUOTE (azian_advanced @ May 27, 2011 - 11:30 PM)  i'd say the amp is toast. the amp easily fries if a live wire touches the casing which usually happens during stereo installs. so either go back to the junk yard and pull out the amp if it's still there, or buy an aftermarket amp although the harnesses you bought would be useless. pulling out the amp is a bit tricky since you need to unhook the heater coolant valve on the firewall in the engine bay to pull out the climate control cluster, then remove the whole center console to gain access to the amp. Okay its probably the amp then, i just tested the wires again and the red lights the light but the yellow doesnt, i tried on both harness's the hacked one and the one i bought from the wrecker. I have an appointment tomorrow at "Car tunes" Hopefully the guy there will be able to get the audio working. Thanks for your help |

QUOTE (azian_advanced @ May 27, 2011 - 6:46 AM) Try this, turn the car to Acc, then use a test light or multimeter to see if there's power coming in from the red and yellow wires. If there's power,there's something wrong with the stereo. If there's no power, the amp is fried. I checked the red and it lights up the test light, the yellow doesnt. |

I found that factory harness for the amp at an auto wrecker today, also picked up the aftermarket one for the deck from futureshop with the rca's. I hooked everything up and the decks not turning on. Will i need to unplug the blue harness's below the amp ? Or do i keep the factory amp fully connected?     |

Okay great, with option #1 does partznet.com deliver to CAN? As you can see mine looks pretty trashed and would be a b*tch to assemble manually, i think im jus gona spend the 20$.. Also check my local auto scrap yards. The butt connectors you see in the below pics were already there unattached when i disassembled my dash. With the old deck audio was coming out of the speakers but every time i pressed a button it would make a high pitched ear piercing sound so i took it apart and noticed the ugly mess..      |

OK so i bought a 1994 Celica GTS 5spd and am replacing the aftermarket cd deck, there was a crappy sony one in there that wasnt wired properly so i took it out. I have a JVC USB Bluetooth deck to install. The car has no harness, i have to hard wire it. There are duplicate colored wires coming from the factory dash which is making the install difficult. I already checked out installdr but it doesnt help. Anyone have input on my situation? |
