thats the first thing i suspected, the harness.

i would take the deck, pop open your hood, hook up the RED and YELLOW to the positive on the battery, and ground the black.

then see how that goes.

hmmm.


well if hooking up the deck directly to the battery as described above doesnt work.....check the harness. be sure the fuse didnt popped. and then look for anything loose. on my harness, that was the problem. the connection of one wire into the plastic harness itself wasnt tight.

define short....

all a harness is, is bascially wires connected to an adapter.

serious, check the fuse on the deck. I was wiring up my pioneer deck, and it shut down. Turns out it was just a fuse that needed to be replaced.

you are replacing the factory HU right? the dimensions of the pioneer are a little different from the factory HU. the pioneer is a little deeper. could be hitting something and grounding out to the frame. that'll cause the hu to go into protection and not turn on.
