In a 91 Thunderbird, an after market Aiwa radio that was professionally installed suddenly lost power after 3 years of use. Fuses are not blown. I tried replacing with a new radio, but it has no power either. When replacing the radio I noticed that off the car harness, the orange/white and blue wires are not connected to anything (They werent even capped-bare wire). I also noticed that the blue wire from the adapter harness (with an in-line fuse) is connected to the blue/white on the car. I dont know if this is incorrect because it did work fine before. It seems the problem lies somewhere else, but the only thing I know to check is the fuses. Any thoughts? Thanks. |

check both the fuses at the head unit and at the car's fusebox.
don't match wire colors. they rarely match up. every car uses a different wire color code at teh factory harness.
most radio manufacturers use a pretty standard color scheme.

The fuses on both the head unit and the car are fine. |

That's bizarre...maybe you should run some new wire from the battery to the headunit? |
