Hi all,
I've recently bought an amp (Pioneer GM-D1004) for my 197.
It's supposed to be a straight forward install, but I'm running into an issue where the amp is constantly on when plugged into the car harness, and won't go off when the ignition is off and the car locked, even.
It's also constantly on whether the head unit (Pioneer MVH-S420BT) is on or off, or even not plugged in to the amp at all.
In the harness that connects the car harness to the amp, the blue and white wire is apparently responsible for turning the amp on and off with the head unit. That wire connects to a green wire on the car harness and measures between 8-9V whether the ignition is on or off. Is this correct? (see pictures)
Something isn't right, here, and I have no idea what.
And the strangest thing is that I've been struggling with this issue ever since I got the amp and yesterday, for some reason, it worked and would turn on with the ignition on only.
Although, when I turned the ignition off, it would sometimes come on and off a couple of times before going off. I was fine with this, and installed it in its permanent location behind the glove box, and now the issue is back...
I was wondering if anyone could be of assistance, here, as I'm lost.
I explained myself as best as I could, but if you need any more info, I'm happy to provide.
Thanks in advance
