Hi everybody, im a new member here...im loving this place...
got a question though, I just installed a new aftermarket stereo (( SONY CDX-GT630UI)) on my 1998 explorer...since there was already an aftermarket stereo on my truck that was installed by a pro (wired/without using a harness), I removed the stereo and separated the cables and purchased a harness and long story short, connected all the wires and taped them up...during this i blew a fuse ((number 29 in the fuse box by the door)) so i replaced the fuse as well...
now the problem is that after hooking up the system, the deck does not turn on. i know that there is power going through because when i try putting a CD in, the stereo pulls it in and when i press the eject button, the CD pops out...i keep pressing the rotary volume control in to get the deck on but nothing...i pressed all the buttons and nothing seems to work...
my friend told me something about switching the yellow and red wire, or something like disconnecting one and leaving the other one on, i didnt quite get that...
HE ALSO MENTIONED THERES PROBABLY A SECOND FUSE ((maybe one for constant power and one for switched power)) SOMEWHERE THAT HAS ALSO BEEN BLOWN....so I checked out the digrams but didnt find anything... does anyone know if such thing exist?? or could u help me at all??? I HAVE NO STEREO and u know how boring it is without one, specially during winter time in CANADA!
THANKS ALOT....
