it has power to the yellow and red wires all the time if its aftermarket head unit,

yellow is constant, red is switched accesory

or last case a bad drivers door power timer, which never shuts off the power(most are disconnected from compliance upon arrival but they do exist)

does the drivers window still work after thekey is removed and door opened and closed ?

The power windows dont work but the head unit remains on when the key is out of the ignition barrel

Sometimes it doesnt turn on when i connect the battery but remains on once I put the key in for the first time. Other times, once I connect the battery the head unit turns on

Could it be the relay switch is sticking? Is there a relay for the radio?

There are no cut wires behind the dash.

The ACC wire is connected into the large plug red wire

The 15A CONSTANT POWER is connected onto the large plug yellow wire

To prevent it from draining my battery ive pluged both wires from the head unit into the red wire. I just can't use any memory functions on the head unit like radio stations.

Could it be my head unit is damaged?

maybe try swapping the red and yellow wires around, as they might be doing the wrong thing, eg yellow being acc and red being constant. i know when i installed my headunit i accidently put these in wrong, and i couldnt save any settings or anything, although it didnt stay on like yours does

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
