well im not exactley sure if this is the rite place to ask this or not but i installed a aftermarket deck in my 98 cavalier and when ever i would turn the volume up past 25 the radio would turn off then come back on and would stay on if i turned it down. well i pulled the radio out to test the power wire to see how many volts were going to the deck. i disconnected my radio and went to test it put the red prong of my multi meter on the power wire and the black on a ground and i heard a pop sound come from my dash by where like the blower is i checked the fuse in my dash and its not blown neither are any other fuses but now my radio doesnt work any ideas?


"how do you get in"

You have a short somewhere, and a loose connection it looks like too. Find both and your problems will be solved. You might have cooked the radio in the process.

the radio wasnt hooked up so i couldnt have cooked it but ill see if i can run the wires and try and figure it out


"how do you get in"

yup you were rite it shorted out and ground its self to a metal piece in the dash but i have one more ? when i bought the car the prong that comes out of the antenna wire is broken so i have no antenna will that make my deck kick off when i turn it up and how can i fix this?
