i wired up my hu and changer today and plugged it in to give it a try...no luck (only the antenna went up)

i left out the blue/white wire thats for amp turn on...do i need that with the hu (no external amp) and if so, where should i put it.

tried to get the stock (bose) stereo plugged back in...no dice
i probably blew a fuse somewhere...what fuse do you guys think it could be? are all the fuses located to the left of the steering column?

please help and thank you

 

clock isnt working eiter...i dont see a fuse for that

 

if i remember correctly i thought that the blue wire is for the power antenna and the blue/white is for remote. Yes the the fuse box is to the left of the steering column. I just wired my remote wire to the cigarette fuse, since it comes on when the key is turned.

 

on the package for the wiring harness it says blue is power antenna and blue/white is amp turn on... i wonder if i wire it to the red(12v ign./acc/) or yellow (12v batt./memory)

 

ok well i replace the audio fuse (a blown 10A...just under the bose) and tried hooking bose system back up...no luck

tried new system and blew the fuse again

why doesnt my bose system work after fuse replacement and why do i keep blowing fuses?/....rrrr

 

You probably need to check the stereo fuse, or at least the acc fuse depending on your Max. I think 5th gen have separate fuses for the two. Might have just crossed a wire while you were tinkering with the harness, so maybe you didn't wire anything wrong after all.

But, you should be running the blue/white wire to turn on the changer, assuming the changer is separate. If the HU is the changer, then nevermind.

 

OK, now you just need to start double checking that you connected all the right wires. Double check the instructions for the wire harness.

 

do you mean a fuse on the bose stereo or aftermarket one...i have a 4th gen max

the changer is seperate, so i guess i can try the blue/white going to it.

 

the "tel acc" fuse is fine

 

when i replace the audio fuse, the clock works, but still no bose system...theres only two connections and the antenna right?

 

We have to find someone with a 4th gen to help you. I know on the 5th gent here are more plugs than that, but the 4th

The aftermarket HU you have, it will probably have another fuse on it's yellow wire (constant power). Check that one too. It's probably in a little black box along the wire.

What specific head unit and changer do you have? Maybe we can find a manual online to help a little.

 

ok thanks...i see the little black box with the fuse. out of the changer a gray and red wire go to a connector that connects to a similar gray and red wire going into the black box with a big violet/purple colored fuse (no power rating given and its not blown) the red wire then goes to the yellow and the gray to ground...should i try to replace the fuse even though its not blown and i dont know what power it is?

the reciever and changer are blaupunkt, here are the links to the pdf files of the manuals
