Thanks guys, When I wired up the new connector for the player I just use the existing wiring, someone had a aftermarket deck in the before I bought it, I mistakingly assumed all the wiring was decent but it was taking power from the clock fuse, thanks nige pointing that out. I wired a wire directly to the battery and all is well. Thanks again for the help guys. Tom

Big shoe, Thank you for the help. It turns out someone replaced the factory fusible links in my truck with circuit breakers. I was looking for the completely wrong thing. but you were right with them coming loose which is what happened with the wires for the circuit breakers. I plugged them back in and zip tied them in there, i hope that will work till I can get something like you have. I appreciate the help. Thanks again.

Hello, I've searched through the forums and couldn't really find anything pertaining to me. I just installed a new Alpine deck and speakers bypassing the amps in my 89. Everything works great for the first few minutes but then the 10a radio fuse blows. I've checked all the connections behind the deck and everything seems to be normal. Has anyone had this problem with aftermarket decks, or is there something I'm doing wrong. Right now I don't have the antenna plugged in because the factory connector won't fit the one for the deck but I don't believe this would cause the problem. I swear I read something about aftermarket decks and fuses blowing but I couldn't find it. Anything helps. Thanks, Tom

Earlier today I was installing an amp kit for my 89 pathy and when I was all done the truck didn't start, I have no power. When I turn the key I get no bells or whistles and the only thing that works is the clock. I checked all the fuses on the drivers left and they were all ok. I looked all over under the hood for some sort of fusible link or fuse I may have blown but I don't think there is anything like that under there except for a few relays. The battery has 12.6v and all the connections are clean. If someone could get me a wiring diagram so I can retrace my footsteps, or give me any insight on what I could have done it would be greatly appreaciated. My email is tjknute@far.midco.net Thanks
