Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes
Using the wiring harness that came with the Sony. This connects to the Ford wiring harness connector via a connector that was used by the SMB installer. Don't know if it's a 3rd party connector or a...

Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes

Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes
Have a voltmeter and that's what I've been using, with the exception of the bulb test to see if power ever dropped out. When testing, if I remember correctly, all my grounding of the voltmeter has...

Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes
How long? While driving? How long after shutting down the van and closing the doors?
OK, so alternate theory- could it be the ground wire for the radio?[/quote]
Well over an hour with the...

Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes
Well, I'm as puzzled as ever. Tried the bulb test and the bulb stayed on. As soon as I round up a fuse I'll pop that in and see what effect it has.

Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes
Just checked everything again. Fuse for always on (red/white) is good and there is definitely power to where I'm connecting to the new stereo.
The switch in the back for van/house works normally...

Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes
New stereo should be good. I tested it by pulling from the dash, attached it directly to a 12V battery with ground and always on power. Temporarily connected ACC and changed some settings and...

Re: Replacement Stereo Power Woes
Thanks for the replies. I definitely have always on power on the new unit connected to the red/white on the Ford harness. Something must have been done to the Ford harness beyond my range of vision...

Re: House battery has died...now starter battery
I sure don't think so. It would be hard to miss as the radio would be playing despite the ignition being off. Possible I suppose, but I'm thinking not. Would make for an easy diagnosis but then...
