Re: New guy with question (J.T.)

My 04 shudders a bit while in drive (stopped) or reverse.There is a fine line with the rpms whether or not it vibrates or is smooth.I made the mistake of trying to compensate for this by adjusting the idle control screw under the hood. It definitely smoothed out the idle, went from about 800 to 1000...

Re: Installing a ''Double-DIN'' radio (p3pto)

If you have the factory amplifier under the passenger seat, you will probably need to attenuate the gain level coming out of the head unit to the amplifier so it sees the input level it is used to.Or bypass the P.O.S. amplifier altogether.Search around the forum, lots of info and links on the topic....

Re: (markdb)

I pulled the CIG fuse while the key was out of the ignition and the radio was on. The radio did not turn off.I got the wiring schematic for the connector going to the radio. I metered the Ignition Positive voltage. When the key is turned to ACC or RUN, it meters 13 volts, like it should. Then I pull...

Re: (markdb)

When ACCESSORY power is turned off with the key, the radio should turn off (clock and all) and the red LED should turn on (theft deterrent system).My clock stays on and the LED does not come on. The radio is still getting power as if the key is on.Does this mean the ignition switch or lock cylinder ...

Re: (audiovibe)

Put it all back together.Radio still stays on after key is removed and car doors open. I am certain this did not happen previous to the water in the car.I am t...
