5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to stereo | Incorrect wiring (constant or switched power), blown fuse, loose connection. | Verify yellow and red wire connections. Check vehicle's fuse box and stereo's fuse. Ensure all plugs are fully seated. |
| No sound from speakers | Incorrect speaker wiring, speaker wires shorted, amplifier not turning on (if applicable). | Double-check all speaker wire connections (positive to positive, negative to negative). Ensure no bare wires are touching. Verify blue wire connection for amplifier turn-on. |
| Intermittent power/sound | Loose connections, damaged wiring. | Inspect all connections for tightness. Check wiring for cuts, pinches, or corrosion. |
| Stereo does not turn off with ignition | Constant and switched power wires are reversed. | Ensure yellow (constant) and red (switched) wires are connected to their correct counterparts. |
