    I could really use some help. I installed an underseat powered sub in my 17 Sport. Ran power from the battery, put the LOC adapter on the OEM equipment. Everything was fine on the initial test.

    I put the dash back together, & now I have zero power to the stereo. Checked all the fuses, they’re good. Checked the connections, they seem fine. Still, she ain’t workin.

    Suggestions?
    Thx, t

    I would suggest changing the fuse. Just because it looks good, doesn't mean it is.

    I bought a fuse checker. Everything works. I’ll try it, though. Thx, t

    It's more about load. The fuse might check fine with a meter or a Fuse checker... but with the load of the radio, open up and fail.

    Power probe, and check your connections, along with those fuses.

    I guess that’s next. I just don’t get why it all worked before I put it back together. Thx, t

    There are 3 fuses to look at.

    It might be a good idea to double check you didn't accidentally clip a wire on reinstall causing a short.

    I was about to start the probing, but you’ve pointed out that I missed a fuse!!! I got the 2 under the hood. I missed the one under the dash. That’s next.

    Possibly something came loose, when pushing things back into dash.

    IT WORKS!!! Third fuse inside was toast. Thanks, all, for your assistance & suggestions.
