2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    radio shuts off as soon as you put the volume up

    originally when i got the car it had the factory plug cut off but it had no radio and a mess of wires so i went to the junkyard and got a factory plug from a matching car and soldered/heatshrunk every single wire...ok
    then i got an aftermarket harness and connected it to my pioneer at first it didnt turn on turns out the radio backup (7.5) fuse was burned... maybe from having all the wires lying around inside the dash idk but i changed it radio starts working fine every speaker plays as i put the volume up on it i notice the clock is dimming similar to when you have an amp hooked up and it dims all your lights on beatdrops... suddenly my radio shuts off....few minutes later it comes back on and as soon as i put volume up (not even max maybe 40/62 that the pioneer has) it shuts off hasnt come on ever since and the radio backup fuse DIDNOT burn out...

    Seems like either your ground is not grounding right or you have a shortage somewere. Have you check the radio fuses? Most likely check all your wires from the adapter harness aswell as the CB harness!

      check all your wireing to make shure no bare wire is touching metal. if nothing is touchin then you could have short some where under the dash or it could be a bad deck

        Also if it shuts off when you raise up your volume it might also be your speaker wires.

              Well as far as i know i had worked on cars that have the same problem and 50% are that the speaker wires are switch meaning +/- or -/+.

                and as far as i know working on music system for a few year that would just phase out the speaker meaning the bass wouldnt hit the same way, never heard of it causing any problems besides poor sound quality...

                  I to been working on systems for over 4 years thats what ive seen and done. Never had a problem with my customers being unsatisfied. But like i said cheack your wiring from the OEM harness if not well im pretty sure your having shortage somewhere in the wiring.
