Default JVC problems

I bought my vette with a JVC cd/cassette head unit in it. I recently noticed that it kept turning itself on, and now it flickers on and off all the time. I just got done checking all the wiring and i'm getting a steady +12vdc and i moved the wires around and everything and the voltage never jumped. I tried hooking it up to a 12v source, but for some reason it wouldn't power up at all.

And Idea's on this one guys? I would like to be able to listen to the radio though I can barely hear it with my exhaust.

My guess is that something inside the headunit is shorting out.

Double check your ground first. If not, jvc has always been known as a brand that chronically has failures. Sell it and pick up a pioneer 7400.

Yeah, I do not like JVC. I worked at Circuit City for 3 years and they were always coming back to us :nonod: . I'd like a nice Alpine, but I haven't seen any full sized ones.

No offence, but not a big Pioneer fan either. I like the higher $ line like Alpine ;).
