No constant power on radio
So I found the correct wiring harness for my stock plugs.
I hooked everything up, and no power to the radio.
So I got out my multimeter, and I have key power, but no constant power.
Check the fuse, and it's good.
What am I missing?

Re: No constant power on radio
Two guesses. You're either working at the wrong fuse or someone has worked on the wiring before and screwed with the wiring. If the circuit you think is the 12v source is indeed the right one, then you ought to be able to use your meter to do a continuity test from the fuse panel to the wire at the back of the radio.
You said you checked the fuse but did you check for 12v there?

I didn't notice a harness that was unplugged, that looking to be my cig lighter. Maybe having that unplugged doesn't give me power to the radio?

Re: No constant power on radio
There are two fuse panels when it comes to the radio, the fuse you are looking for is to the right of the steering column. Here's a link to a thread that helped me.
