3.0. List of common issues   

3.1 

No Power

   

 

Check each button on the control pad for sticking. Under normal conditions, a faint click is heard upon pressing each 
button. If any button does not click, initiate a warranty claim.   

 

Ensure red and yellow leads are connected to a good 12V+ source. Both must have power for the radio to turn on.   

 

Ensure black ground wire is connected to a good reliable ground source.   

 

Open the fuse holder and check the fuse. Note, while in most situations, a bad fuse can be spotted visually, this may 
not always be the case. The best method would be to use a multi-meter or a test light.   

 

Ensure the battery/power supply is putting out at least 12V while under load. The radio requires at least 11.5V to 
operate normally.   

 

Check all connections for corrosion, looseness, or other condition that can produce a bad ground. Corrosion or 
terminal looseness is the leading cause for most grounding issues and can cause excessive heat resulting in melting 
wires or terminals.   

 

Unplug any remotes or extension from the back of the stereo to determine if the root cause is with another 
component.   

 
 
3.2 

Intermittent Power

 

 

3.2.1 

Powers on and off constantly

 

 

Check voltage under load. At least 11.5V must be maintained consistently to operate the radio normally.   

 

If voltage cannot be maintained, load test the battery or power supply.   

 

Check all connections for corrosion, looseness, or other condition that can produce a bad ground.   

 

3.2.2 

Powers off and on while vehicle is moving

   

• Inspect all connections including the radio’s harness for looseness. Wiggle connections while the radio is operating 
to produce the symptom and narrow down the loose connection. If radio cuts in and out while wiggling the wires on 
the radio side of the wire harness, initiate warranty claim.
