Wiring harness came loose? Can you provide more info? Does it turn on, load/eject CDs, switch stations? Are your speakers power through an external amp, if so have you checked to make sure that the in-line fuse and fuses on the amp have not blown?

ok it still turns on loads cds and swtich stations it still does everything the same but no sound at all.. thers no external amp.. just aftermakrt deck player. thats it.. were would i find the wire harness and how do i fix this problem

what brand is your radio? Did you solder and tape all your wire connections? or did you just jumble them together and pray it works with a little tape? Crimp caps?

or was it already in the car when you bought it?

please be less vauge k.

What model?

Check that it doesn't have an option to turn off the internal amp - some radios have that feature for people that are running external amps. (Obviously if it does have that feature, make sure the internal amps are on.) You should be able to find a manual for it on Pioneer's website.

Play with the fader and balance and see if anything changes, if you haven't already.

Then check the connections in the back.

If you don't know where to find the wiring harness you should not attempt to service this yourself. Find a friend that knows something about electronics or car stereos.

ok thanx i will play wiht it a little.. and were or how would i fix the internal amp...

I doubt you'd be able to fix the internal amp if it were broken. If it's just turned off, then finding the option in the menus and turning it back on shouldn't be a problem. But if it's actually internally broken, unless it's a high-end Premier unit, it's almost certainly not worth fixing.

ok cool.. im not sure if that option is on their cause im pretty sure i went through everything.
