Today has been a gift straight from hell. On my way to work my starter decides to finally kick the bucket. The red top Optima Also took a vacation. No biggie all can be fixed. So 8 hours, hell a lot of problems and 180$ later. It starts and stuff works... i checked all the fuses, everything is in working order. I blew out my battery fuse the 120A one, replaced that. As happy as can be i proceed to check the interior functions. Everything works except for the radio!!! Ive rechecked the fuses and searched the forums. I can find anything.

Tomorrow I'm going to check all the fuses again, take out the HU and see if anything got shorted. Any idea's and suggestions are welcome.


CLIFS: head unit does not work after starter install, ive shortened the battery(FL120A) fuse. Replaced it and everything except the hu works. Checked the fuses all except for AIRCON are good.

 

Can someone please post and explain a wiring diagram for the HU and the Cig-Lighter. All of my fuses are OK. Yet for some reason i have no power to those two. I'm hoping i didn't fry the unit but that crossed my mind, Ive already spend 150$ on maintenance on the car just this week! Last thing i want is to buy a new HU.

 

Can someone PLEASE help me with this one. I Need the radio to work, I'm going crazy with music in my car.

 

I drove around for a year or so with a broken HU... you get used to just listening to the car quickly

 

I got used to it... it has an exhaust leak ! lol

I have one last hope the AMP relay, i just saw it in the manual, going to check that soon as I'm done with the self diagnostics(which may i add is a pain in the ***, i cant even get down there :[...)

 

well i'm getting new audio in march so I'll sell you my bose if you want it

 

I still got my stocker. But .. problem fixed !!! when i took out the radio last night i missed the fuse because it was hidden behind the harness .. i took a closer look and there it was... broken !!!! Max is back to normal. I love that car
