Audio Help 1995 Bonneville: When car starts no sound.
Hello everyone..I am having a problem with this new HU...Thieves took the other unit I had installed so I bought a new one and decided to install this myself..
The problem is when I have the key to ACC position or just on the deck works fine, but as soon as I start the car I have no sound. The radio stays on and it shows the digital EQ'* moving up and down but no sound through the speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My first thought would be to double/triple check the wiring. I feel like I've been through this before, but can't remember when or what caused it....

So let me get this straight...when the car is in the "on" position, the HU turns on but you get nothing out of the speakers? Are your speakers amped?

Thnx for the quick reply.
You can hear the radio/cd until you start the car, than the sound is gone. I am using a install wire harness that connects to the car wire harness, so should be right.
I was thinking the speakers may be factory amped, but I don't believe I would have any sound even in the ON or ACC position.
Again
for the help...Driving me nuts.

95 should let sound through a factory amp.
My 95 SSEi would play through the amp aka gain slider before I gave it power. 97 with the bose system won't.
I agree with CC'* line of thought...look for an aftermarket amp.

he should not need an amp if he is hearing sound on ACC...
that is the weirdest thing...
get a voltmeter on the power, ground and acc wires on the back of the deck to see whats happening when

This is going to sound stupid( Not an audio Guy ).... Are the 12v constant and 12v switched hooke up correctly? Could there be a fuse issues at all?
So when we turn the ign back to ACC we have juice to both the 12v constant and 12v switched.... But when we go to run we get no sound? When you turn on the ignition is the 12 switched getting power?
I may be way off... Just a few thoughts I guess
Please don't beat me

I have this thought that the switched and power are revered. which would make sense. It will always have power then, but will only turn on in ACC because that is where it is drawing its main power from.
