Alpine Deck won't turn on
OK. The person who owned the car b4 me installed a pioneer deck and didn't decide to get a harness. They just hooked it up wire by wire. I undid all that, got the info on what wire is what from this page..http://www.team-integra.net/sections...?ArticleID=217,
and hooked up the correct wires. (I've double checked this). Anyways I get it all connected and the damn thing won't turn on. Oh yeh and the clock is not working either. I see on the page above it says that the radio ground goes to the ground. The alpine hu already provided a ground. I tried hooking up the provided alpine ground, I've tried hooking up the alpine ground to the acura ground. Do I hook them both up seperatly?? Would you guys like pictures??

There is a 7.5a fuse under the hood that goes to the clock and head unit. That probably blew out when you were messing with the wires. Replace it.

You can connect them separately or to the same point.

Ok, I used a bolt on a metal spar and connected the two grounds to it. I also got the 7.5a fuse and replaced it. The hu will still not turn on...do I need a higher amp fuse or something like that?

Thats weird. Are you positive that the head unit works? Is there an onboard fuse on the head unit itself that broke?

The head unit is brand new. I don't know if it's broken internally but I doubt it. I think i'm going to redo every wire....

Get a test light. See if the deck is getting power. You should have bought a harness for it, it will be much easier on you. I was going to tell you to take the deck out, and just took up the 2 power wires and ground directly to the battery. Just to make sure that its a working unit.

Can't buy a harness, the previous guy cut off the factory harness so all I have left to deal with is a bunch of wires.

The alpine harness wasn't properly attaching to the back of hu. Had to keep it together with electrical tape. Thanks for the help WiLL
