Double din radio installed, electrical issues.
I upgraded my pioneer single din (previous owner) to a double din, using the same PAC harness. Everything worked except when I turn the car off, the radio is black but flashes with lines, and the fuse relay is clicking. I turn the car back on and the radio goes back to factory settings (clock isn’t saved either). It continuously does this the entire time the car is off.
I go and unplug the relay and it works fine now, except there is no bass coming out of the speakers. For additional info, the accessory power that the previous owner used is a red wire they ran into the HVAC fuse with a fuse tap, if that means anything.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

It's likely that you did not wire it correctly. I am assuming that you had to rewire for the new radio. What relay is clicking? The PAC wiring diagrams can be found online, just do a search.

It was the mini relay #45 that was clicking at the beginning. Once I unplugged it and plugged back in it stopped doing it. But didn’t fix the no bass issue.

so I found that with the PAC module, you have to connect the blue wire to the blue/white wire (for the bose subs). So I reconnected it that way, and still no bass. This was based off a previous forum discussion on same issue.
It was the mini relay #45 that was clicking at the beginning. Once I unplugged it and plugged back in it stopped doing it. But didn’t fix the no bass issue.
