Today I started working on my car in hopes of eliminating some noise from my system. All I did was to try to find a better ground for my Head Unit. Yhis didn't help so I disconected the power connector from the head unit and tried to move my head unit to the hatch to test and see if it was a problem with the head unit wiring but when I re-connected the head unit to the power connector I got no power, so I check the fuses for the head unit and it is fine. Then I notice my power door locks are only working when I have the ignition on so I check the fuse for it which is fine. I try the factory headunit just for the hell of it and it has no power either. I probe the wiring harness and the 12 volt + wire has no power at the connector, all of the other wires that should have power do. I am stumped on what could be wrong unless there is some other fuse I am missing that can cause this problem. The only other aftermarket thing I have installed besides stereo is a Clifford GR (Concept 550) alarm. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Check all your fuses...including the ones under the hood. One labeled "backup" may be the culprit.

cool, thanks I'll check that one. Another person on another forum mentioned it as well. Hopefully it will work
