Well, i put a damn Alpine stereo in my Vert and a CD changer, since the Stcok player would not play my cd's.. Then about a week ago it rained and when I was driving the radio just shut off.. then a few minutes later it came back on.. then a while later it would flash on/off for a few times then shut off.. so I just left it off.



Yesterday I took it all out to check the wiring.. Everything is hooked up correctly, so I checked the fuse, it was fine... Then I checked the wire that connects to the Stereo and it has no power.. So anyone have any Ideas why the power wire on the stero has no power..

One of these days, I'm gonna put a radio in my TII. It's just a hole with a bunch of cut wires now. It just hasn't been a priority. I prefer to listen to the sweet music of that turbocharged rotary...

Check the other end of the wire. Sounds like a bad connection. Very rare on these cars...

hahaha.. Yeah I guess I will have to check that whole thing out.. Think it may have something to do with the stock pioneer sound system?
