very little slack, I would pull out the radio and make sure it is secured. Other than that I would start testing all of the harness pins on the back of the radio to make sure you are getting voltage through them. I believe it is marked K in the diagram on the radio. Also there might be a fuse on the back of the radio that may be the culprit. Try the audio forum, I'm sure someone has had this problem. They are slow to respond so be patient.

Similar issue, different radio

One of your K-lines could have caused a short. Check the radio fuse first, or call Ross-Tech for - - SpfldS4 2004-05-10 17:31:35 (175 views)

You are right, K-1 is shorted to ground...would a crapped out radio cause this? - My2ndS4 2004-05-10 17:37:52 (168 views)
