Hey guys,
So the 23rd is my brother's 18th birthday, he previously had a deck put in a few years ago. He acquired a new radio for his car and recruited the help of his friend who essentially wrecked his deck and left him high and dry. He owns a 2001 Grand Am GT, non-monsoon. I have appropriately matched the aftermarket wire diagram to match his factory wire diagram.
Attached I have some pictures/information in this post that perhaps can help you guys find the problem.I have always hard-wired my systems however I am having a little trouble running power to the radio itself.
The radio does work when constant power is applied through a straight-wire from fuse-box. I matched put both his accessory (Red) aftermarket with his aftermarket 12v constant (Yellow) with the straight wire from fuse-box. This causes the radio to stay on even after ignition\car is off. The way I understood to do it is to match the (Orange) factory constant to the (Yellow) aftermarket constant. Than I was to match the (Red) aftermarket to the fusebox to provide memory and also to tell the radio when to turn off.
Does anyone have a solution? I have tried everything with the wires. The only thing I can figure is that his (Orange) Factory wire for 12v constant doesn't work properly.
