Howdy all,
I'm trying to install an aftermarket Stereo: VRCD400-SDU.
I'm having wiring issues is what I think it comes down to. Based off of my new stereo's manual (http://www.roadmasterusa.com/manuals/VRCD400SDU_eng.pdf) and a wiring diagram (http://www.modifiedlife.com/car-stereo-radio-wiring-diagram-2001-ford-explorer/) I just matched up what wire should go where and connected them up.
However, when I connect my battery back up and plug in my new Stereo it doesn't come on. When I turn my lights on, the backlighting of the stereo will illuminate. I've pressed the reset button on the unit and ensured my wiring is correct (to what I believe) and solidly connected (spliced and tapped wires).
What wires should be connected to what?
What else should I try?
Thanks,
Cidious
