help quick!

[cajundragger]

can I ground the wire for the parking brake with the regular ground for the tv to make it work when ever I want it to? I got a panasonic if it matters...

[cajundragger]

like basically can I just run the wire for the ebrake to a regular switch so I can control when I want it to work and stuff?

[belmont]

yes

[cajundragger]

you may not know but what about a red wire coming off of the headunit itsself, not the box? is it accessory? and there are two wires labled "speaker" that come off of the HU as well, and nothing says anything about it....

[belmont]

dont know about that one, sorry. if you're using the pre-outs and amping all your speakers then you dont need to do anything with the ones labeled speaker

[joakwin]

and the 2nd Q i don't know since i don't have that brand

lets see some pics...

[cajundragger]

arite I will get pics...but everything was great yesterday, today on radio everything works, on cd or dvd, only the passenger side speakers work.....wtf?

[cajundragger]

also I have reset the memory and the big control box, nothing has changed....still only when its on cd or dvd, the passenger side speakers are the only ones that work...

[x6369x]

Are you running any amps?
Check all the connections at the brain, and if you can, disconnect the molex plug at the brain, then check the resistance of each speaker with a DMM.

[cajundragger]

no amps for highs, just on my sub, and have checked all the connections on the brain, and nothing, its just so weird, the driver side speakers work for everything but cd...

It sounds like the laser got miss aligned during shipping, only picking up part of the song or movie. thats my guess. its still under warrenty, but you will have to send it out to a service center to get it fixed. I'll check tomorrow for you.

[95stroked1500]

sounds like an internal problem for the cd section then.

[x6369x]

Have you tried a CD lens cleaner?

[cajundragger]

to be honest I haven't really tried anything....is that the cd that cleans the lens? haha I dunno what that is.......also I was thinking I'd trace some wires and check over them again but I mean I think its pointless because everything works fine when the radio is on, but once I hit cd the driver speakers turn off...

let me know

[cajundragger]

also I just checked the rcas on the drivers side and they showed no power coming from them while the passenger sides one did...then I put on the radio and everything worked, so I dunno

I then checked the sub outputs and the sub still worked when each one was plugged in seperatly by itsself. I thought that for the sub, it has the left and right side and my mono block amp mixes both together? If this is so then both sides of my sub outputs work...either way this is weird...

I heard a whine tonight on my way home from a party, like a ground type whine, so I am going to pull the HU back out and check all my wires because I ghetto'd it up a bit....so I will unghetto it all and make it look like something I would normally do(rushed because of rain when I first installed it) and see what happens..maybe God will look down on me and solve all my problems....crosses fingers...
