Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / January 2005JVC Head Problems
My sister picked up a JVC head unit from Best Buy to replace Sony unit that was ripped out by some crack head (funny story actually, he accidentally called her house with the stolen cell from her car and left a message on her machine. We could hear him trying to negotiate a deal for $80 worth of crack). I'm not sure of the Model # off hand. It looks to be a cheapo, my guess is about $120. Anyway, I was installing it for her and once I put power to it turned on and immediately said "Good Bye" (or something similar) on the screen and then shut down. After that, I could not get it to turn back on. When I unplug the harness from the back of the head and let it sit for a few minutes, plug it back in, it will turn on then shut down again. I've installed 20 or so heads in the past and have never had this problem. Is there something stupid I'm missing? Check wires are connected properly(wires could have been damaged when the thief took out head unit)..Check if the head unit is compatible with the main unit.My advice is that you bought a broken piece of equipment or faulty.. Hope this helps! Regards- Chris > My sister picked up a JVC head unit from Best Buy to replace Sony unit > that was [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > stupid > I'm missing? Check that the permanent 12V and Switched Accessory 12V lines are both present. A few cars, VW in particular, omit the switched 12V line.

Is there something stupid > I'm missing? Sounds to me like you may have a blown radio fuse in your vehicle's fuse box. JVC decks will always do what you described when you plug them in, provided the constant power is good; however, if it doesn't switch on, it probably isn't getting its switched power input. Blown fuses are very common during head unit installations, unless you disconnect the battery or use a harness and do all your connections outside the vehicle. > My sister picked up a JVC head unit from Best Buy to replace Sony unit that was > ripped out by some crack head (funny story actually, he accidentally called her [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > heads in the past and have never had this problem.
