Hey guys, so here's the situation.
I got a '95 Civic LX sedan (if it really matters) and my deck is giving me a headache and a half.
It's an older Pioneer, I'll get the model number later, I'm in class right now and I don't know it off hand.
Here's the deal.
When I put the key to accessory, the deck turns on and everything works fine. Now when I turn the car on, that's when nothing happens. The deck loses power and even my lighter plug-in loses power (had an iPod connector thing in it. Now as I drive along sometimes (maybe 1/2 the time) the deck will suddenly get power and start working, but then if I have to turn the car off and back on, I'm back to silent driving.
So my question is simply, does anyone know what the hell is going on? Is it a ground wire, power wire, or any wire. And if it is a power wire, how could I check to see if it's the car's power or the deck power. I wanna buy a touchscreen but if it's the car's wire itself and not the deck, then I am gonna hold off.
Any help will help.
