I tried searching, but found nothing. If this question has been covered, I apologize.
I purchased a new toy last week to play with.. Its a 1991 Silverado, 2wd, 350, 5 speed.. The previous owner had removed the tape deck, and slid a new head unit in its place.. He simply ran new power and speaker lines.. I ordered the dash panel, wiring harness, antenna adapter, and filler box to do the install correctly.. Yesterday, I decided to do some prep work and remove all the existing components.. I had removed both the controls in the dash, and the main unit under the dash.. I tried to start the truck, and it had no fire, and no fuel.. After checking everything I could, I plugged the stereo back in.. It fired the first crank.. Remove radio, nothing, install radio, it runs..
Is this normal??
And if it is, will the correct wiring harness adapter allow me to remove that box, or will it always have to be present?
