issues with aftermarket hu

ok. i have a 90 gxe, which is a pile, so it is being the donor for parts for my sisters 91. the 90 had bose, the 91 does not. my pioneer headunit works in the 90, but when i take it and try to plug it into the 91, it doesnt work. but hte funny thing is, it worked right away, when i was testing it, but then when i mounted it, it doesnt work anymore. i tried putting it back in the 90, and it works in there. i know that the 91 the previous owner had their radio stolen. but mine was working for awhile in there, so it shouldnt be an issue. suggestions?

did you check connections to the harness? if it tested fine when it was still out of the dash, but stopped when everything is in...i'm guessing it's a lose connection somewhere.

probably accidently shorted it during the install. good thing they changed the automatic seatbelts to the traditional manual one. that thing got annoying at times.

sorry to piggyback!

hey sorry to sorta piggyback on ya but i'm kinda having the same problem with my 90 non bose. i put my perfectly working pioneer from my paseo (RIP) in it and it worked for a while but now my seatbelts won't work until i start the car and hit the gas a little. plus all the little lights don't work either and the power locks and windows! is it my ground? I have the radio grounded to the top left bolt in the radio chassis, should i ground it somewhere else? please please help!
