so i took out my pionner and gave it to jesse…

i plug in the eclipse deck and it works like a charm, haad it going for two days no problem.

so i want to hook up my nak.

i have an extra harness from the other car so i wire the nak up to that and then unplug the eclipse and plug in the nak…

nothing

so i was worried that the nak wasnt working. so i tested the eclipse off the battery and it was fine.

then i tested the nak off the battery and it worked fine… even spit out a cd i thought i had lost… haha

so i hook the nak back up but this time to the harness that the eclipse was on and it still doesnt work…

???

both decks work, i proved that, and the eclipse was working before i removed it, so the wiring is fine.

i am about to head back down there… any tips???

tres confused.

LOL! It’s the simplest thing you could possibly imagine for him to do, aside from plugging it in.

If your car is a 91+ 240sx  
you need to make sure you hookup power to the stock amp if the stock amp is not hookedup the deck will not turn on.
