Hey, the other day i was casually driving listening to some beats, haha, And all of a sudden my deck shuts off. So i took out the deck n make sure my connections were good n checked all my fuses, and the all checked out...wtf? I checked the power going to the fuse box and it has juice, but theres nothin' goin to the deck. IM thinking theres a short somewhere inbetween. Does anyone know how to run a new power wire from the fuse box to the deck, thats the only thing i can think of doing. Any help would be great, THX

 

I think power for the yellow wire on an aftermarket deck (constant 12 volts) comes from a fuse in the box near the battery under the hood. At least that's how older models work. There are two fuses, which wire is not getting power?

 

the only fuse i know of is the one under the dash, is there another one under the hood on a 02?

 

anyone, any help/how to's whould help greatly

 

I'd have to find a diagram of the '02 but I think that one of the fuses under the hood is going to be labeled "BACK UP" and that's the one that sends constant power to the radio (and the ECU, and the dashboard clock if equipped).

 

THANK YOU!!! mk387. your my hero. haha
