ohhhh.... Is your amp turning on? Where is the splice into the 12v acc wire (aftermarket wire or factory)? I'm wondering if it broke possibly. If your amp is turning on then the accessory line is good but I'm wondering if the splice is broken (assuming that's what it is). And because your remote wire is into your accessory, it probably saved your deck during the short. Now we need to find the disconnect .


Since you have no +12V at the yellow/green, Fuse 1 is good, and the deck is good, it has to be a disconnect somewhere in the accessory line or there's a fuse added/hidden somewhere in there. Somewhere that accessory line is disconnected. It could be coincidental or like I say, there could be a hidden fuse.

Its spliced on the deck side. The amp is not turning on. Is there anywhere i can just run a new acc wire to just bypass the old one? Where is the acc wire running?

You could pull a wire from under the dash where the ignition comes from the steering wheel. The wire Color is black/light green. You could jump from there for now assuming it's not the ignition but doesn't sound like it. The deck wiring is so close so it's easy to pass a wire through. This would get you going for now.

The other thing I've thought about is close your doors, turn ignition on, then turn ignition off. Accessory delay should kick in and if the radio turns on it'd be strange but interesting.

Another thing to keep in mind. You probably won't get accessory delay but at least you'll have your radio haha

Oh hahahaha I edited my response again lol. The wire is black with a light green stripe. It comes under the steering column You should be able to get at it by pulling the plastic under the dash off then taking the 4 bolts off the metal plate. I might be able to add a picture after.

Also the ignition wiring might be factory taped up so that may make it harder to find.
