JVC car stereo doesn't power up

I previously owned the JVC-LH-300 car stereo, that I had installed in my Camry. I had it removed and sold it online recently, when I bought my new car. I received an email back from the person who bought it from me, who claims it doesn't work. It worked fine up to the point it was removed. Has anyone heard of issues with this or any other car stereo decks? Are they really that fragile and could possibly be damage to the point they will no longer work, when being stored. Not sure if he’s trying to rip me off for something he did, or if I actually sold something that was faulty. Not sure what to do... unit doesn't power up apparently.

Check the ground wire. It might have come loose. Ground wire is the only black wire in the harness.

Audio wiring problem

Constant 12V+ Blue/Yellow
Switched 12V+ Gray
Ground Brown (or your own wire to a metal grounding point)
Illumination Green
Antenna Trigger Black/Red

Front Speakers 4" Dash
Left Front (+) Pink
Left Front (-) Purple
Right Front (+) Green
Right Front (-) Blue

Rear Speakers 5 1/4" Rear Deck
Left Rear (+) Black
Left Rear (-) Yellow
Right Rear (+) Red
Right Rear (-) White

I a '83 camry, there are 2 seperate plugs that go into a factory radio.
One for Power/and front speakers, and the other for rear speakers.

Sounds as if you are missing part of the harness for the rear speakers (or it is shoved in the back of the dash unused by the previous install). If there is not an un-cut plug in the dash - your only course of action would be to run your own set of speaker wire to the rear.

See this picture... these are the plugs that should go into your factory radio....

Metra kit 71-1938 will go from your factory wiring directly into your factory radio.

JVC KD-G351 question

It sounds like your stereo is working properly. I've never seen a car stereo that was wired properly that you could turn on and listen to while the car was off with the key removed from the ignition switch. You would have to move the ignition switch to the accessory position in order to get the stereo to work. Hope this helps. Good luck. Mike D.
