This dude earned a follower. Only a minute in and this dude is not only telling me what wires to look for but explaining to me their purpose. Real G

Been fighting with my radio for weeks, nobody could help but you helped me fix it in 5 minutes. Much appreciated

[paulolexa]

Thank you JP. You’re the man! My car stereo just stopped working. I started watching your video and had my stereo fixed within 60 seconds. Thank you Sir!

Thank you brother for this quick straight to the point video. I took all my paneling off and the radio, tested all the wires, checked the fuse and then read the manual. The manual showed a reset button on the front that would be easily accessible by just popping of the radio cover and it fixed my problem lmao

Thanks so much! I have wired a couple dozen radios. This was the first one I was educating my son, he’s 12. I didn’t understand why no power. I connected directly to the battery to guarantee the radio was good. Hook in to dash no power. At the 3 minute mark. You covered ground. That was the issue. Grounded to the ample dash framing in my 93 Nissan D21 with 73k on the odometer. Bad ground, self tapped. It’s all groovy. Thanks for covering every detail.

Thanks for sharing your wealth of car audio knowledge with all of us. These videos you make do help a whole lot of people, such as myself. Keep doing what you do.

Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot. Did some troubleshooting with the tester and had a bad ground and the yellow/constant power wire I could never get working. The red ignition wire was good. So I ran a new wire for the fuse box to the radio yellow/ constant and everything came together.
👍

The radio in my rv wouldn’t turn on, for months! Today I watched your video and was able to see that I didn’t have power going to the red wire, traced it to the issue!! It’s an rv so it gets wired to the house battery in the back, I then realized it has another fuse back three so total 4 fuses cus the darn stereo had a fuse behind it too! When it finally turned It felt so good to have been able to figure it out, thanks to you!!! The best video I have watched on the subject I didn’t waste any time and subscribed❤thank you for creating such good content

[George-lxo]

Thanks man helped me get the stereo running in my truck! No more bluetooth speaker necessary

[dopeexterminatr]

genuinly appreciate this, gonna try later with a multi meter but youve helped me figure out what else to check besides oubvious things (fuses and such), i was lost as hell trying to figure this out lmao thank you

[boburhs]

Thanks for the video I have a issue with radio restarting after welcome text continuously no buttons work I have no idea what to do fuses good.

[rocker]

bro please I crave your help! How can I check the video signal coming out of the head unit? the display is not directly attached to the head unit so the signal is transmitted by a wire to the display. what interface is used in cars? can I somehow attach my HDMI monitor to the head unit through some converter/adapter?

3 or 4 days trying to figure out this same problem and a 7 minute video is all I needed😂😂😂

[callmedano]

I have a confirmed good radio, good fuses, but no voltage and it doesn’t matter if I ground it to the metal in car, power not working. I also checked and have continuity in my harness

[scorpionweather]

Helped me figure out what I think the problem is, my constant isn't getting nearly 12 volts... however I've checked the wiring and it's all good, even re did it for safe measure and I'm still not getting it. Not sure what to do at this point

[ceddthakid]

I’m using a metro harness

connected my ground, my constant and my 12v for some strange reason the radio will not turn on unless the contant wire touches the 12v wire.. mind you i did not heat shrink yet because i wanted to make sure everything worked first

[Bonafide_SMOKE]

I have an 89 Lincoln town car, and it has an aftermarket raido/tape my issue is that when turn the volume up, all the interior lights starts dming, I have been thinking about getting another aftermarket radio and installing it by watching your videos but I don't know what caused the attendant in the first place before I do all that

[PeppaPigPayton]

Thanks your the only video to show the fuse on the back. I didn't know about that. I changed the fuse from the fuse box with the radio still not working. I'll try this and report back. Thanks again

[JerryR]

great content. my radio comes on without the car turn on but when I turn the car on I get a blank screen the says " no signal". I used your previous videos on how to hook up the radio and they were done very well, but I stuck on how to fix this issue on the no signal. thx

I’m in the process of redoing my radio. It’s been a year and a half, but it just now wants to short out. Last time I used the radio, all my speakers were cracking like 40 volume. But it was only at 1. I’m new to this. So I just matched colors together.
