Installing a radio to ignition switch

[@bigshai411]

Connecting the yellow wire to ignition will erase the memory every time you turn car off and on. I suppose only the ignition wire should be used in that connection. That way yellow keep the memory in place while the red ignition turns the radio off and on when key is turned.

Have you tried this?

[@antwan1158]

Mine was done that way and it went out and few months later my truck wouldn't start. What do you think caused it?

[@bigshai411]

It’s probably a wrong wire connection. If the red yellow and black wires are connected wrongly, that would put pressure on the entire car electric system and possibly shut or burn out circuit and that then becomes expensive fix for you

@@bigshai411 Well all the dash lights and everything still come on but no sound when i try to turn the key to crank it. How can i diagnose it without paying an arm and leg at a shop?

You got trouble with memory?

[@yourdad2107]

Thanks man for the explanation!!

[@lawrencegriffin709]

You don't have to do all that 😂 just run the radio ignition (red) wire to a ignition controlled accessory in the fuse box

[@Tonyflash3]

Explain

[@lawrencegriffin709]

It's simple all the accessories in the car that are turned ( on and off ) by the ignition such as ignition 1,2 or 3 if your vehicle has it in your fuse box some cars have it in the interior fuse box or under hood fuse box or if not the fuse marked (HVAC) also check to see if you have a fuse marked (rap) meaning (retained accessory power)in your fuse box these are the common fuses to tap the radio ignition red wire to in the fuse box and here's one more gem of wisdom use a line fuse tap called add a fuse purchase a pack of them good to have for radio installs

@@lawrencegriffin709 I connected everything correctly but mine doesn’t turn , I tried connecting it directly to the battery but it still didn’t turn on ? It might be the stereo right

[@juanvdw8478]

​@@ngldany5161if both red and yellow wires are connected to the positive terminal and your black wire is earthed properly on the body if it still isn't turning on check you radios fuse at the back and if its still not working then throw it away and buy a new one 😂😅

[@ZookaJoe123]

For mine i did yellow to yellow, black to black , and red to red on harness, then tapped into red with my cigarette lighter because mine is only on with the key in.

[@dkharris111]

LOL. How stolen is that head unit? Totally ripped out of something

[@collonianparris4325]

Not necessarily. I cut my factory wires when installing my aftermarket radio. It was spliced too!

[@CrimPyro]

... head units are like 50 buck no one is stealing a damn headunit

[@41moose]

So you went the cheap way instead of buying then premade wire harness

[@purple-porker-productions]

WTF, state of that!

[@icecubemademedoit5181]

I hope this car caught on fire from the poor cable management

[@LandoandIraShow]

[@MsSheikh111]
