radio not working....at all
Alright, in the latest car development my radio doesnt work...at all. Now i checked the fuses and they are fine. Pulled the radio out, and everything is tied together. What are the 2 red wires coming from the car to the radio...those are the only two not attached to anything....everything else is taped together but the radio doesnt power on.

This happened to me a few times after I had taken the central column plastics apart( bit that covers the gearstick)
because I forget to attach the earth ring back on for the stereo.

Re: radio not working....at all
- Take the radio out
- Pop your hood
- Tie the red and yellow wires together and connect them to the Positive
- Connect the black to any Ground or Negative post on the battery.
- Tell us if it still doesn't work...
