I am currently trying to install an aftermarket JVC double din radio in a Mustang V6 2008 (standard radio system) I have installed the radios like I have for all of my friends before and I have never had a problem. This however does not appear I am getting the power required to the head unit. When I press the eject button a few buttons will glow for about 15 seconds and then go blank. I used a metra wiring harness and wired everything according to color. Any suggestions?

On a side note. The factory radio had two plugs plugged into the back. The second plug was not tied into the harness at all. Could this have something to do with it? Did I purchase an incorrect harness?

Thanks!

Sure sounds like you did. You need to check the one plug that you have and see if there is a constant on 12v power line. If there is not check the other plug and see if it is on it. Also make sure you have a 12v accessory power line which will only come on when you turn the key.

If its like my 2008,the metra harness works but the problem is one of the power wires, can remember if it was the red or yellow,but there is no power to one, i had to run a wire from the passenger side fuse block
