I parked my car for a couple months over the winter. Went to drive it a couple weeks ago and the radio would not work/turn on, nothing. I pulled the old receiver out, assuming it died.
My buddy graciously lent me his nice kenwood radio for the time being and I wired in the new connector. Radio still isn't powering on.
The connector is wired in correctly and I confirmed that I'm getting switched 12v, constant 12v and ground, at my solder joints and at the end of the connector. I bench tested the radio with a 12v power supply and it does work.
I disassembled the radio, so I could test the connector inputs at the board, when its all plugged in. Turns out, the constant 12v turns into 5.3v when I test it at connector on the board.
Has anyone ran into anything like this? Would a bad wire/connector drop the voltage like that? I know the radio gets power and ground connections from the c302 connector, should I check there first? I also read somewhere, that after the c302 connector, those wires run through the cluster, and a bad si board could affect the power going to the radio.
I guess I could simply find another constant 12v source and just wire that into the radio, but I would rather keep the factory wiring.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
