Hi Guys

I just got my 87 iroc on the road the radio played fine for the first hour then it just quit ..............It says delco on the front with the eqalizer on it I checked the fuse block its good.

Any Ideas what to do, I want to keep it origanal PLUS I dont need that hi power stuff I'm damn near fifty and this is my first muscle car.

I got alot of good info from this board putting this machine together

Thanks, Rat

 

Have you disconnected your battery recently? If so did you do it the way your manual says to do it? The delco radios have a feature that will put a theft mode on them if you disconnect the battery in the wrong sequence. Its a possibility that might have happen. Since it did work for an hour that would be strange tho. I would also check your ground and power wires to the radio. Does the radio even turn on, or is there just no sound?

 

radio does not turn on.....clock is on though

 

Hmmm im trying to remember if the power to the clock is sperate or not. I dont think it is though. Someone correct me if im wrong. As far as i can tell you have power to the radio but the radio just isnt turning on. Did you check the power and ground wires to the radio yet? Also check the fuse for the radio. If you trase all of those wires and they are good then next check the ignition power wire going to the radio. If the clock is getting power but the radio wont turn on when you have the key turned on then its probably the ignition power wire. This wire sends the power signal to turn on the radio when you have the key in the accesory, and run possitions. If you didnt know already the red wire is the constant power wire, black is ground, and yellow is the ignition hot wire. Check all of those. If your not sure how to just post back.
