i've heard of people hitting some large bumps and that would trip the kill switch.
Not sure if it is just a fuel kill switch or if it knocks out the electrical also.

kput, It turned out to be the ignition fuse. It blew for some strange reason. I really wish the owner's manual listed the fuse locations in it. I scoured that damn thing on the side of the road trying to identify which fuses are where.

AMChrisYoung, I don't have any aftermarket audio/video stuff. However, the previous owner did as he left the power cable running from the engine bay to the trunk as well as what I assume is an amplifier remote turnon wire. I don't know where it is connected to, if anything at all. Looks like i will need to be tearing my interior apart to figure that out and remove them from possibly being an issue later on.

Once again, thanks for the helpful advice.

Have a good night folks and be safe.

Thankfully, I have fixed the problem.

I would look into that aftermarket wiring and get rid of it if you don't need it. It's going to cause nothing but problems, especially if it was done by a hack, which most stereo installs are.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Hot wires getting gounded? Sounds like a very bad install...

Thanks for the update!

Take care, Don!



Yea, nothing better than going to the local best-buy to have some 16 year old installing your stereo and remote start. Brilliant!
