I ordered a new radio along with the already wired harness to make this a plug and play process. Unfortunately I believe I'm having issues with my stock stereo harness; symptom:
Stereo worked for a few days then started popping.
Stereo started popping when the truck was parked and the key was out of the ignition
After getting into the car with the key out of the ignition to check it seemed like the unit was powering on and off very quickly. I'm suspecting a cable in the harness is bad?
Crutchfield kindly did an RMA for everything including the custom made harness. The new gear was installed and now the radio won't go on. I've had the dash off this rig so many times I can have it off in less than 5 minutes.
My thought was do not use the harness for power but use the rest of the harnesses and wire something directly into the vehicle for power? Right now it's all installed but the power harness is pulled out.
Unfortunately the stock stereo got thrown away.
Another observation is the harness itself seems very stiff and brittle. I probably didn't help anything by moving it around everywhere troubleshooting
Any suggestions on what direction to go would be greatly appreciated.
