i have a alpine ivad310...i have all the wires and everything hooked up..the radio worked the first time we installed it just to make sure it worked...then after we ran the wires it didnt...i replaced the fuse in the fuse box in front of the battery...my question is does the fuse box behind the battery have a fuse for the radio also? and could there be something in that fuse box behind the battery thats not making it work??? if i dont get anywhere by tomorrow night im just going to bring it somewhere and have them make it work and ill put the car back together myself...thanks guys..!!

 

ok what did you run wires for? the amp?
and what did you hook the radio to to make sure it worked?
I'm not even sure where to begin.

 

Check the power, ground and Ignition/ACC wires behind the radio is hooked to. That'll tell you if its the car, or your radio.

 

i checked that and it was reading 2 volts....which it should be higher so i think it is a fuse...im only doing the ivad-310...but is there a radio fuse behind the battery also? or is there just the two? thanks

 

ya it should be minimum about 11, where did you test? constant? acc? both?
if your fuse is blown you shouldn't get any reading.
could be something else... you need to provide pictures or much more detail on your install like did you use a wiring harness? are you connected to an aftermarket amp? does the deck itself have power? your explanation is too vague

 

nope everything is stock except for the headunit...ill check the voltage tomorrow and see where im at....should i check the harness for power that would normally conncet to my HU? is there a fuse in the "third" fuse box that could be causing this also???radio fuse...anything??

 

are you using a wiring harness (metra/best kits)?

 

yea i got the metra kit

 

test the wires in behind the deck for the constant and accessory see which one has crapped out. if it's constant, then it's a fuse, regardless check ALL the fuses in the car

 

alright...how hard is the one behind the battery to look at that fuse box?

 

haven't had a need to go back there... some say it's a pain.
I think if you take the full cover off you shouldn't have too much issues with it

 

well it donest really bother me right now because my car is on jack stands for the next week and a half(powdercoating rims) so i should have plenty of time to somewhat work on it and see if i can figure out something...if me and my boys cant i think im just gonna have a shop look at it and see if they can figure it out

 

how did you connect the aftermarket harness to the metra harness? is there any way you can take a picture of that?

 

plug and play...ill have to take a pic and post it on here just give me a day or two its been really hectic here...thanks

 

I know it's plug and play but I mean did you solder and use electrical tape? did you use butt connectors? my only thought is that it's grounding out somewhere.
