Hey guys,

I'm installing a Pioneer DEH-3700MP in my truck....I have an 18-circuit painless wiring system....installing kick panel speakers (no external amps)...followed all instructions got everything plugged in, but no power to the head unit (it didn't come on)....I checked the radio fuse (10A) at the fuse block it was burnt up.....check the ground, it was loose....replaced the fuse, tightened up the ground again, but it still is loose (I have it tied behind the dash to the left of the heater control unit)....tried to power up again, but no go...

Can you please help me diagnose the power issue??.....having trouble finding a good ground area too....got any recommendations for that as well??

Thanks in advance!!! G
