Eclipse CD3200 went dead after adding 2nd battery ground

Recommended Posts

Everything was working perfectly til yesturday when I took out my batterys ground and added another ground wire, when I turned the car back on my voltage gauge and both amps powered up but the HU didn't light up at all and started beeping really fast for the first few seconds then stopped, I hit the reset button on the HU and now nothing powers up (HU, amps, voltage gauge)...I checked both fuses on the amp (1 fuse on red power wire, 1 glass fuse on yellow "back up" wire) both were replaced and I've checked the necessary fuses in the interior fuse box with no luck...

I've already emailed eclipse with no response in 3 days Im guessing that because they shut down all US operations...but I just had an autopage alarm installed about a week before this happened and FYI I have disconnected my battery countless times before with no problems so I don't think this is a eclipse security measure

take a small piece of wire and connect it into the power insert on your amp.

Take the other end and touch and hold it inside the remote insert. This will temporarily "jump start" your amp to see if the remote line needs attention.

If your amp comes on, then the headunit needs attention.

Curious as to how the voltmeter gauge is wired up. Where does it connect to?

Is there a fuse on the head unit or wiring harness? Did you check if it's blown?

the voltmeter is wired to the sub amp and turns on with the radio.
