Okay, so doing a bunch of shit for a buddies 1997 Pathfinder he just bought, one of them being the radio..
The previous owner is a complete ass by the way..
The radio wiring was literally a rats nest, fucking plugs cut off, wires spliced, cut, taped, wrapped, the whole nine yards..
So i went to the JY and cut the stock plugs from a car that still had them and just spent a couple hours deciphering all of it to the best of my knowledge.. I then wired in the aftermarket plug to the brand new radio, and no go from radio..
Now basically the radio should turn on with three wires correct?
Red - Ignition 12V
Yellow - 12V constant
Black - Ground
All the rest of the wiring has to due with speakers, dimmers, and antenna.. correct? With just the three above plugged in the radio should work? Now i have had all wires plugged in the whole time, and tested them the best i could.. I made sure the red had power when i turned the ignition on.. the yellow always has power (tho i had to splice into the constant from the hazards, the stock placement had no power) and then i have been grounded the whole time.. I tested this all out with just a test light however.. Just made sure the light turned on and so forth..
Why wont the radio turn on? Fuse is good on the back, in the fuse panels (yes i have checked all.. ) and from what i can see, it SHOULD work.. What am I missing?
If it matters at all its a JVC KD-R730BT in a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4WD
Thanks
