Help Me Before I Kill Myself

[Menace]

Ok, My gf just got a 95 cavalier. Ive been working on it the past week and we decided to put in a headunit. We went to circuit city and picked up a nice pioneer head unit for the car and stopped and picked up a wiring harness. I hooked everything up and the headunit just does not work. Doesnt get any power to it at all. I checked the fuse and it was fine. I plugged the stock headunit back into the harness and it ran fine. So I went to advanced auto and picked up a differnt harness then the one I got from walmart. The only differnence was their was 1 more prong in the harness so I figured why not. I hooked that up, making sure all the wires were correct and, nothing!!!!! Can anyone please help me with this problem because I am lost in space right now :angry:

It may be a s simple as the deck is pooched.

[Vtolds]

Thats what it sounds like to me.

[Menace]

What do you mean the deck being pooched

[whiteliquid]

wires are burned up on your new hu

[Menace]

There should be no reason that could have happened

[mikegett]

The deck only needs 12 volts running to the 12volt acc and a ground to power up. Run a temporary wire straight from your battery 12 positive to the acc. Run a ground to the head unit. If it won't turn on then take it back.

Oh yea there could be a good reason, I bought a hu once brand spankin new, hooked it up and it burned up the output wires so i could hear my subs but not my interior subs.

Also had one were the power wire was bad so it just didnt work at all.

he realized after you wire it up you have to plug it back in

[Menace]

The problem was that the stock battery wasnt powerfull enough for the headunit.

[slowandlow]

on my head unit i had to pull a new power wire to power it.
