the tweeters are only powered by the deck, they should have been on the entire time. If a speaker becomes shorted out a deck will often shut down all the audio outs(while power remains on) to keep from blowing the decks amp. IF they were not on before then I would suspect that one of the speaker wires was shorted.

how about the blue wires? The other hrns I believe has rca outputs.

No Mine only has the large grey one and the small black 8 pin one. The small black one does not have the rca's like yours does either. I could take a picture of my dash and show you.

ok, so the grey hrns is your power hrns. You will be able to get your +12 constant, switched and ground as well as the factory amp turn on wire(blue and blue/white). These are all important and get wired to the corresponding colors on your new radio. The small black hrns is your amplifier input. If your new deck has RCA outputs you can use these if you want, how ever I would only recommend using it if you have a subwoofer output. By doing this you will be able to control the subwoofers volume seperately from the master volume(you will probably need a line driver to act as a low level amp if you do not have a high voltage output on your deck). If you do not have a sub output I would recommend wiring the small black hrns to your speaker outputs(grey to grey, white to white, purple topurple)and you will be fine. If you can take a pic that would be great.

The third hrns that I am pointing to on page 2 is a hrns that is between the factory amps, and the front and rear tweeters. You can get better sound by bypassing the stock amp and hooking the tweets straight up to the deck if you use a capacitor as a x-over to keep the bass out of them.

I still swear YOU NEED TO CONNECT YOUR BLUE WIRES.......

The sub amps get their signal from the tweeters. If your tweeters are playing then the input is there, you just need to turn the amps on.

I soldered the rca ends on that hrns myself, it was the exact same thing you have in your car........

I have the blue and white and the blue conected to the 12+ (red) wires already. I tried it with out and I got no Audio. Currently i have the Power harness and then the 8 pin connected. That third harness the one you were pointing too, did you sodger that to the square black one?
