Troubleshooting

1)   Verify that you have 12-volt DC on the 

Red

 accessory wire of the RFASWC, 

using a multimeter.

2)   Reconfirm that you have a good ground to the solid 

Black

 wire of the RFASWC.

 Attention:

 Due to the nature of how microprocessors function, sometimes 

having the ground on the RFASWC shared with the radio, and/or using the 
factory ground in the vehicles wiring harness is not sufficient; and will cause 
problems. Attaching the 

Black

 wire of the RFASWC to a chassis ground, solely 

by itself, is highly recommended to avoid grounding issues. Ensure this wire 
is straight from the RFASWC without any extensions, and make sure a ring 
terminal (not supplied) is used, and crimped properly. This will alleviate any 
grounding issues that may keep the RFASWC from programming; most cases of 
the RFASWC not programming comes from the lack of this step being done.

3)   Confirm that the 3.5mm jack on RFASWC is connected to your radio securely, 

and in the correct jack of the radio. Make sure it is not plugged into the 
Bluetooth mic. or AUX jack. If you are not sure what jack to connect to the radio, 
please contact the radio vendor.

 Note:

 Some radios do not use a jack for the steering wheel controls, instead 

they use a wire. If so, reference Connections to be made, and ensure that you 
have the proper wire(s) connected.

4)   If you are using a radio with a wire for connections instead of a jack, make sure 

you have also programmed the steering wheel controls to the radio following
