Headunit with no power

[bryanpaintballi]

Hey,
I recently just got a new Alpine CDA-9883 headunit, and it has no power going to it. I installed it on friday and it worked fine until about yesterday when for some reason there was no power to it. I put in my old head unit, an older sony one, and same problem, no power. I checked the fuses under the hood and they were all looking good. Any advice?? Should I check any of the fuses by the door on the drivers side or are they irrelevant.

check the fuses in the kick panel, that is where your fuse for ignition/accessory to turn on your deck is. your constant power fuse for memory is in the engine compartment.

thats about all it could be unless you did a mickey mouse install and a wire came loose.

remember kids, never twist and tape! always solder or crimp.

good luck

I prefer the twist and tape way easier and faster.. lol jk

but check your connections even if you did crimp them sometimes people do a bad crimp and it comes out.

yea try the fuses or the fuse on the back of the cd player..also see if your ground is loose or some of your wires and shit or touching....if they are get they seprated cause i fried my speaker outputs cause all the wires touched and grounded out..the cd player came on and played but no sound lol

ill def check the kick panel fuses when it gets light out, but as for the fuse behind the cd player, i checked it and it looks fine. As for grounding, the alpine cd player had a ground, but the wiring harness had a ground, and that should be enough to ground if i just connect those two right?? It should be since thats all it did and it basically worked for almost a week.

yeah, LOL, i taped up the last prob. 15 cd players i put in with out an issue. BUt yeah, its a ghetto way. I have an alpine and i took it out couse it kept turning off! Every time i started getting into a song, it would just cut off! I got so mad at it i finally just bashed the face in with a pair of plyers while i was driving one day. I put in a crappy ass cd player, and to this day, its never shut off.


But back to the subject, make sure non of you wires in the back of the cd player came out, loose, rubed bare somehow, or shorted out in any way. Even if its just a speaker wire, it wont just shut off you speaker that came loose, it will not allow your player to turn back on untill you fix the short. It took me a while to figure that out.

got so despreate that i decided to take a shitty flashlight and check out that kick panel. Turns out that the kick panel had a fuse blown, thanks to all who helped out, i wudn't have checked the kick panel because i didn't think the radio had a fuse there,
thanks to all

most newer decks have protection circuits to prevent the amp in your deck from shorting out.

kenwoods display an error code when a speaker is blown or a wire is shorting out.

but i always think sharting when someone says shorting...

If you haven't already you may want to pull it back out and check everything over. Preferrably when you can see it good, just to make sure all is still good. I always crimp then tape...
