So I installed a Exceleon HU, amp, sub....and was not getting any power to amp and could not figure it out. Took it to best buy and the guy told me the remote wire was bad. So I run a new remote wire now no HU power. So we test it and he says the there is no power coming through the plug from crutchfield...so he taps a grey/stripe wire from the OEM harness to bypass. Now everything works....until the truck moves with the gas. I rev it it works, I let it roll it works, I drive and it cuts out. I come to a stop at the light and it all comes back on. WTF!! Did he tap a wire that makes it to where everything shuts off like the DVD player.(that I dont have by the way)

 

He may have tapped some sort of VSS wire. That does not sound very cool at all. I hope the BB guy didn't mar up the factory harness to bad either. I would make them fix it, but another person or location. The HU might have a defect not allowing a remote turn on? No too sure.

 

What's crazy is the hu was fine the remote was just pinched. Now everything only works
When I am not moving. Ack.

 

Nobody else?

 

Grey/Black in the Ford vehicles is a VSS wire. Take that back to them, have them put it back and do things right. He has access to Directechs off his ETK. If he gives you any crap, have him call me. (Email me for my #) Make the little **** fix it.

 

Thanx manl that is what I thought when it cut out when I was driving.

God*** Well, I will go back tomorrow after I get done with class.
Anyone have a pin diagram...I will fix it if I can find the right wire to use as the ACC Power to bypass to cheap as plug that crutchfield sent me..

 

Nah, make the kid fix it. You have a warranty on the work.

 

Well I installed everything myself.....I just went there because I could not figure out the remote wire lack of power issues.

I am gonna try and do this myself....not trusting those boneheads at the moment.

And Whoa....found like a bizillion wire diagrams on here...thanx guys. I will keep you updated.

 

Tapped the LG/Y wire and all is well....

Thanx again all you guys for your input and help all along the way here......

I would put up pics....but they are nothing like the stuff you monsters are running.


Thanx
