Winner winner! I could've sworn I looked at every fuse in that panel. Anywho, yes, "Radio Batt" was blown. Harness has 12v battery power. Harness adapter has 12V switched and battery power. CD player, 1,500-ish Ohms across the circuits and it won't turn on... so I have a toasted deck. Kids...

Thanks!

No problem glad i could help!

Didn't want to start a thread about this so I will ask here......


Is this something I should find inside my drivers door panel??? It started rattling so I attempted to pull the panel to see what I broke. As soon as I loosened the bottom up this fell out. Didn't notice the writing on it until everything was put back on, and didn't look to see if anything else was inside. I'm not a stereo guy so I don't know if thats where stuff like this belongs, but I would assume not a very convenient place. Nothing in my truck is clarion that I have seen (yet), but it seems every time I work on it I find another electronic gizmo. Sorry for pic quality, I tried to get the best pic I could.

Its about the size of a deck of cards. No tellin why it was in there. Been trying to remove all the added junk, 3 alarms, 2 amps, monster cable....... A fricken mile of it, all starting and ending nowhere. Gotta love a PO! Oh, can't forget the 6 extra rear shocks I removed the first day.

That's a box from a passive crossover network. At one time it held electronics that determined which frequency ranges went to specific speakers, hence the woofer and tweeter labels. Inside door panels is a pretty standard installation space for them.

Yeah, 6. Lined up across the rear axle, all drilled out, ungodly loose, no bushings, still have the upper mounts, the lower mount was a huge plate bolted to the rear axle (sort of). Probably looked cool at one time, but it looked like scrap metal to me. Thats where it all went.
