Wiring radio

Post by Crisdolf » Sat Nov 10, 2012 5:52 pm

Anybody had any problems wiring a radio in ? My Zuke had the block there so wired to that,it works on the ignition but when it's switched off it goes dim and no sound the only way to stop this is to switch it off on radio ???

Mine had an ISO socket soldered into the loom, it sounds like yours is having issues with the switched live & the constant live, I'm guessing that you have yours mixed up (red & yellow in the iso harness) so its trying to pull the volts through the switched supply instead of the fused live, try swapping them over
