Installed am aftermarket radio in a 2005 Avalanche, used the correct harness to retain chimes, and the radio will only play for 2-3 seconds then no sound.

All wires are hooked up correctly. When the ignition is turned off then back to on, the radio powers on and does its display, then will play perfect for a few seconds, then no sound, The radio display continues to stay on.

there must be a fuse that you missed check under the hood and inside the car for fuse panels and make sure that connections are still hooked up the ones that your husband did.

What is the run wire to the radio in a 2006 h3 hummer?

There isn't one. You have two choices. 1st and best is to purchase the correct interface harness that includes a module that provides the switched power lead or 2) run a wire to a fuse in the fuse box that turns on with the ignition. All GM products since about 1999 have a class 2 data bus system. The data bus wakes up the radio when the ignition is on. The correct harness retains this feature as well as all of the warning chimes (door ooe, key in ignituon, etc) and allows the retention of on star as well. Harness is available from most online sites, best buy, walmart, most auto part stores, local audio shops...etc.

2009 silverado 2500hd wt Diesel chime in ceiling does not work for any notifications, seat belt, low fuel, turn signal on, door any clue where to start looking.

The chime system is a class 2 databus. The chime is actually created by the factory radio and plays thru the left front speaker. If the radio is non factory and the appropriate kit was not used ( which has a speaker for the chine) or the front left speaker is blown then you won't have a chime. If you do have a factory radio and the speaker plays the music fine then the problem lies in either the data circuit or the radio. If you have an aftermarket radio and the correct wiring kit was used then either there is a bad connection, blown chime speaker or defective kit.

I need to know how to wire a pioneer 150MP stereo wiring harness to a Pontiac Torrent. 2008.

Best thing is to buy the correct harness adapter as your vehicle uses a class 2 databus. Replacing the radio and not using the harness you will lose the door chime, ignition chime, on star, and any driver info that is done via the radio as well as there is no accessory wire for the factory radio. If you still want to do it without the harness go to www.modifiedlife.com. there is a large wiring database on their site

I'm installing a aftermarket stereo in my 2005 grand am se the wire harness adapter for my car requires I run the accessory wire to one of my fuses for whatever reason I need to know which one thanks

Are you aware of the fact that your factory radio is connected to the class 2 serial data communication network . You need a interface module to hook up to aftermarket radios . If you don't use this interface module your vehicle will not start an run an the warning chimes will not work .
The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The radio generates the audible warnings through the left front speaker. The radio receives audible warning requests via the class 2 serial data line. If the radio receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. The following lists the audible warning priority and the pulse rate:

Installed aftermarket radio in 2001 dodge durango. not sure what to do with purple wire which is data lines system? and now guages dont work and neither does the mpg read out or anything up there all

Hopefully you used an aftermarket wiring harness that plugs directly into your Durango harness...(no cut splice etc) You did not mention if the new radio played correctly...sounds more like a fuse
to your Durango on these feature functions...your owners manual should help you identify which one...my guess is this 1 fuse controls your missing functions...hope this helps.

2005 chrysler town and country how to attach aftermarket dvd player to factory screen?

The best reply for this is to see a radio teck that fits wireless into cars as they have the gear , looms and connections and the know how to do the job without upsetting the ECM program. IT will be money well spent especially if you use an accredited radio technician.

Looking for a wire diagram to hook up a aftermarket sterio from factory on a 2001 chev malibu

In this car you will need an stereo adapter. Some functions of the cars warning system are in the radio. You use this adapter to replace the factory radio. The adapter facilitates replacement of a factory radio while retaining all factory safety warning chimes and audible turn signal indicators. These adapters are compatible with amplified and non-amplified audio systems. Will retain all safety warning chimes. See this web site for more info. Autosound Central. With the right adapter you do not need a wiring diagram. It will be plug and play.

Installing aftermarket radio. Wheres the accessory??

Did the radio play after you took the key out?
And do the chimes come through the speakers?
If so, then you need to get a harness to go inbetween the radio and the car harness.

I would like to avoid using a FM transmitter to use

There are harnesses that go inbetween the existing radio and the car that allow for an ipod hookup. The cost of these is a little high. I opted for a new radio for my 2005 Malibu for this reason, but I still needed a adpter harness because the cars computer doesn't just allow you to replace the radio with althing you want.
So for these harnesses, you pull of the connector of the back of the radio and install this new one. Check ebay for this.

I got a 2004 impala Afternarket radio problem

Did you use the correct harness adapter for the aftermarket radio? The factory radio systems use Class 2 serial data communications between the body computer module and the radio. The class 2 communications is what "wakes up" the radio.

Check out www.scosche.com and see if your vehicle might also require an interface module.
