Hello all, I am new to this forum and ranger ownership. If this is the wrong place to post this please let me know where the correct place to post is, thanks
I have installed multiple after market stereos before and never messed up, but this is what I get for moving too fast. So the new wiring harness (Pioneer DMH241-EX) had only one switched power wire, whereas the ford factory harness had two (one, a hot during run. the other, a hot while starting). I assumed, and was promptly made an ass, but I just hooked them all together assuming they were the same. The truck started normal, ran for about 30 seconds while I messed around with audio settings, then died. All of the electronics work however(stereo, lights, speakers, blower) So far, I have disconnected and dead ended the hot in start wire(red/black) and replaced the starter relay. Still no crank, no start, no click, no nothing. I just figured I'd post here before investing in expensive test equipment or digging into the starter. Thank you!
