Previously I told you guys that two Clarion Head Units went out in two Honda Civics.. Now mine has gone out!!! The only common factors left are that the all were Clarion Head Units and the wiring kits came from Crutchfield!!! At least it will be warm in the DC area today so I'll be able to diagnose this evening. BTW everything else on the radio works fine.

check the fuse?

Mabey its not connected all the way sometimes mine does that but i ussually just detach it and put it back on. But that wont help if youve got a double DIN. I would send it back or check the harness connections for +,-

If its this one I would try the harness check all the connections If you did the install your self. If you had a shop do it just take it back.

Well it turned out to be-->>

the connection between the faceplate and the unit.. I used rubbing alcohol and wiped the terminals on the unit and the faceplate an it started working again.. Funny thing is it gradually started working so I can't positively say that was the fix but it works now.
