    Accessory wire help

    hey guys
    i installed my new head unit last week and it was working fine

    then i tried inserting a new din sleeve/pocket thing for the gap and when i reconnected it, the head unit wouldnt turn on at all - it seems as if it wasnt getting any power
    so i tried disconnecting all the wires and reconnecting them all, it still wouldnt work
    i then connected the red wire from the head units harness to the same wire as i connected the yellow wire to (power) and it worked fine

    so my basic conclusion:the head unit and head units wiring harness is fine
    it seems like the cars accessory wire is stuffed, therefore the head unit wasnt turning on when i turned the ignition on

    can ne1 give me any advice as to how to repair the accessory wire or maybe a little check to do?
    all the fuses in my fuse box are fine
    thanks

    you can connect it to the fusebox near your feet...
    get a continuity tester and find a port where it gets power when the key is on..connect the red cable there..

    idk what could be causing the problem, maybe burnt wiring?

        there's your problem.. the fuse for the accessory is located in the kick panel by your feet..

              if you have a continuity tester, use that to check the fuses so that you dont have to pull them out one by one..
