i am trying to install an after market cd player in my 98 durango because the factory one will play sometimes. i bought the install kit from scoche and wired it all up and it wont turn on i can unplug it and hook up the factory unit it and it works. i do have a question as to what the single wire that attaches to the chassis of the stereo is without it hooked up the factory unit wont turn on and there is no place for it on my aftermarket unit i believe this wire is what is giving me all the trouble. can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong or what i have over looked?

 

i have tried hooking up the single wire as a ground and as a remote and it does nothing either way.it wont even turn the unit on. can someone help??? i know the unit is good cause i acan hook it up to the battery under the hood and it works and i dont have any blown fuses.

 

I have seen some of the aftermarket wiring harness that supposedly correctively map all the wires to the correct devices such as power, ground, speaker, etc. are not mapped correctly. You may have to check all the power leads on the aftermarket harness to confirm that power, turn on, ground etc are working.

 

i had to match all my wires up manuallythe harness was shat

 

I had problems with mine i have the 6 speaker infinity that runs 2 ohmand checked around bye the time you buy a stero a wireing harnes dash kit and the module interface for the steering wheel controls its cheaper to go to the junk yard and get a factory stero

 

thanks all for the help it put me in the right direction it turned out to be the aftermarket harness.had power loss coming out of a spare plug that was not being used so i just went around it. thanks again.
