white w/ yellow stripe wire?

[g-wagon]

its for the 12v or ignition.... i think we had the red wire hooked up for 12v+ cuz it was always on... but the ignition wire doesn't work period.... and for some reason the cd player we were hooking up wouldn't work without the headlights on..... anybody know whats up?

you have something hooked up to the illumination wire. white with yellow should be constant, ignition should be yellow with red and ground is black.

hmm.... that could be why..

nope.... doesn't work period...i got it from wagalude and he said it worked when he tested it.... is the ignition wire hooked to a fuse anywhere?

yes, there are fuses for both the ignition and constant. if i remember correctly the ignition fuse is in the fusebox in the drivers kick whereas constant is under the hood.

if u want to test the radio to make sure its working do this. twist the yellow and red wires togeather and then have a some one help u and touch the red/yellow wire to the positive + and the black NEG- and the have someone turn on the radio if it comes on then it works

get a tester, you know those things with the sharp tip and a light at the end and ground it to the ground wire on the deck -best bet so you KNOW FOR A FACT YOU HAVE A GROUND-

strip the white w/ yellow stripe wire so you have enough copper to work with, be carefull not to cut it short or it will be a pain in the ass

with the tester connected to the stereo deck ground, prod or poke at the white w/ yellow stripe and see if it lights up

if it lights, might be a problem with your deck,

if it dont, could be a fuse...

post up results!
