Hey guys, I'm mid way through installing a new stereo head unit and we cant seem to find any consistent power to the harness, so was hoping someone may have some expertise to help?
We have found the ignition triggered power, but the line we expected to be the constant, based on wiring diagrams I've found and the install in the forum directory yielded nothing.. Checked all the fuses under the bonnet and dash for the audio.
My trip computer ha didn't turn on when switching the ignition so we pulled it out and couldn't find power there either..
Most of us have run a new wire from the battery to power a stereo as they demand quite a bit of power...edit sorry was thinking amp not head unit ...existing power supply is fine..

I would have expected to find at least some power elsewhere in the old harness though so I'm thinking we have either done something wrong or have blown a fuse but have checked most of them.
It's always best practice to do these installs with the battery disconnected so you don't risk any shorts and blown fuses. Is that what you did or were you working live?
It would be useful to know what model you have, what the stereo looked like and what your putting in as well as how you're putting it in - the easiest way is with pre-made plug and play harnesses but by the sounds of it you're doing something more old school?

Turned out to be that we'd blown the interior light fuse.. Worked it out as daylight was fading and about to call it quits. Problem solved. Odd that it is connected ?
Hi, Can anyone help please? I have a 2013 Triton GLR (tweeters non standard) and scored some tweeter speakers from a GLXR (tweeters standard). The harness in the door has a small plug for the tweeters which has a white/red wire and a black/red wire. These two wires disappears into the loom within the door. Where do they go??? The plug fits the tweeters but when connected there is no sound at all from the tweeters. I have replaced the head unit with an after market unit everything else works fine. Any ideas? Thanks Gunny2380A
Hi ag9111. I left myself open to that one!!! Thanks for the info. The way I read it (rightly or not) is that the tweeters in the GLXR connect to an external OEM amp because it has a better sound system than my model. In some other models (?) the tweeters are in parallel to the door speakers. Does this sound right? I assume (be careful here) that the images below the wiring diagram represent the different connectors to the head unit with the associated pin numbers. How did I go? Thanks gunny2380A
