Urgent Audio Help Please! - R34, Pioneer 6850

[dee213]

hi guys, I tried to install a CD-RB20 AUX attachment to my Pioneer 6850 but it at first wasnt being picked up by the head unit. I thought i mightve connected the battery line to a disconnected line so i connected the grounding wire to the head unit one and attached the battery line to the head unit battery line. I went to start the car and i get no power from the head unit at all. I disconnect the RB20 and put everything as it was and still no power to the head unit. I checked every connection i could think of and it all seemed fine. I checked the head unit fuse and it was fine, as well as the RB20 fuse.

Many times during testing the headunit continued to turn on until i connected the battery lines together. Anyone have any ideas? I think there was a slight spark noise when i turned the car on when the battery lines were connected.

In desperate need for help as its the missus' car and shes freaking out!

cheers.

Sounds like you blew a fuse buddy, check fuses under the dash and also at the second fuse box which might be in your engine bay or near your battery.

i've checked the fuse box under the dash and they are all fine. i'll check the one in the engine bay in the morning. Any other ideas?
