Radio Acting Wierd

[zincyellow03]

Something was really wrong with my car. The battery was dying because I connected it to a wire that was draing out the battery. I connected it to the right one(atleast I think it is) and my radio started to flash. When I putted it on a station, it would different music with alot of static. But when I had my car on accesory, it played fine. Now only the clock and the eject button work on it. What happened? Could it be that it needs a code for it to work again(kinda like an anti-theft thing?)?

That's what I thought but we fixed everything and then we tried to connect the radio and it didn't work. I'll try to get a picture of it soon.

I was trying to connect my sub so that when I turn the radio on, it will play(before, I had it that I would have to plug it in the cigarette lighter for it to work.)

in just messin w/ you its an easy fi sounds like however you connected it, you must have messed up on the splice b/c the HU isn't getting enough powerrrr

if you read his other post he had a amp hooked up to a constant 12V so it was always on killed the battery,i was trying to explain how to hook up the remote turn on from the switched 12V source on the back of the radio,but i guess something went wrong

These are the only wires that I messed with in the radio. The one of the left was the first one that I did. The one on the right was the second one. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you test those with a test light??Did you run the main power to the battery?

Yes, I did. The purple one was on all the time and it was draining the battery. Now the one on the right was the only one to have any power (other than the purple one). Yes, I did run the main power to the battery.

No one has any ideas?
