What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2021]

Got nowhere again last night trying to figure out what is blowing the one fuse, leaning towards the head unit itself but gonna try the old amp I had running the system before to see if its possibly the amp
I happened to notice that, in a few of your pics, you have bare copper on some speaker outputs (the white, green, purple, and grays, solid and w/stripes). On most radios, shorting or grounding those will just mute the sound and put the amp in protect. I'd start with insulating those ends......
Thanks I'll do that tonight too, my buddy that wired it did it for a few then said he didn't see the point so stopped. I noticed he also ran the signal wire off the accessory which for the most part is the same but the wiring harness has an amp wire with a built in fuse so I'm gonna swap that over while also getting the illumination working so I can actually use the head units at night. Under the dash you know which wire would be for the headlights to tap off for them?
Hit the dark brown for parking lights or gray for dimmer.
Also, take note of when exactly said fuse blows (as soon as you turn the key, turn on the radio, crank volume, etc.)
Literally it is just starting to plug in the headunit, which is strange because both are wired together. The other one has had no problems but also isn't the one running music so that's why I am looping back to the amp to check it. I took apart the tape from them to check there was no knicks in the wires or anything and it was all good. I ended up taping all the soldier connectors to make sure there was nothing between them but it still popped it as soon as I plugged it in
Thanks BTW
Make sure you don't have 2 pins on the male side of the plug mangled, so that they short when you try to plug it in....
Thought I had already checked that, but appreciate all ideas and will give it a try later
It could just be a Ding How piece of
, too!!!
