Hi all, I am new to the group and know this may be a repeat of past conversations. I searched and didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
I recently replaced an older Pioneer HU with a new double-din unit. Upon completing the install, the radio buzzes for a second when the vehicle is turned on, but stops immediately when the radio completes power up. I assumed I had a ground issue and while examining the connections, heard loud static and now the radio will not power up.
I tested the radio to make sure it still works, and it does. I replaced all applicable fuses and still am not getting power. I checked the 12V constant (yellow) at the vehicle harness and it is now only getting about 8 volts. I know the power comes from the amplifier so I am wondering if the amplifier is in "protection" mode. I still get a constant buzz now since the radio won't power up so the ground issue is still there.
Any thoughts?
