okay guys no bullsh!t in here just answers. alright I got my pioneer premier deh-p780mp back the other day from repairs and I tried hooking it up today and its not working I don't know why. It's reading 12 volts on the yellow wire which is the 12 volt memory/constant. But the red wire the 12 volt accessory is not reading 12 volts. My ? is should it be reading 12 volts if the hu isnt on im not sure. but also I need to figure out wat is wrong because I have no idea
When the car is on the accessory wire should be showing power. Perhaps it shorted out and that's what damaged your HU or made you think it was your HU.
Anyway to figure this out I have a dmm so I don't know. when my hu died it was working then slowly as i hit bumps it would go off and then finally died I thought it was a lose connection but it wasent and now i can't get it to work at all
Do you have a test light? I'm sure you already checked your fuse but your wire is probably shorted out. Jump the power from your 12volt constant to your red wire and see what happens.
alright I did that and it turned on and whn i take them apart it goes off again. so is it okay to connect them together? Or do I have to do something else
Run a new line from your fuse panel that powers on with your ignition, there should be an open slot and just use one of those flat terminals and fuse the line.
Haha, you're making it more difficult than it is. Look for a slot on your fuse panel that gets power when you turn your ignition on. Run a line from there and then fuse it nearby or fuse it with a line if you can squeeze that in and then just send the line up to your HU.
alright guys i went to go check out the fuses first they all looked fine none blown. Then I went to the store real quick to grab something now my dash doesn't light up and my power locks don't work. when i have my car off and turn them off they lock then click after like 1-2 secs and become unlocked again i don't get this.
what I would do first is reset your pcm. There should be a fuse that you pull and keep it out for a few minutes then reinsert and your cpu will be clean of all old codes and drive stles and ready to learn again. If Mitsubishi does not have a code take your neg terminal off your battery for about 10 minutes and put back on. While the negative/ or fuse to reset is pulled make sure that each fuse in the fuse panel is removed and reinserted properly. That is where I would start charlie.
also running a new wire to your acc at the fuse panel is so simple I actually let my 7 year old do it to hardwire my gps you can do it Charlie without a problem and if you have any questions you know where to reach me.
I wasent thinking I was just trying to get it done. But ya james I checked all the fuses they all are fine. And I had the car off the battery for 10 mins aor so a little bit more and it didnt change anything still the same?
umm i live pretty close to there marc i live in wilmington which is like right next to burlington but then again if you live there im sure you know where wilmington is
you can do it Charlie without a problem and if you have any questions you know where to reach me.
