Once i picked it up from getting the clutch done the light came on no blinking at all. It stayed on... I am just hoping it is something like the fusible link or maybe the starter.. but even trying to jump off my wife's new car it did nothing. I am guessing the mechanic for got to connect the ground to the starter... or a wire got loose.. Anyone put any info it to it



It's the harness to my Avic d-1 pioneer radio . The radio shutting off was a sign that the ignition wire connected to the radio is either loose or not connected at all. Which brings to me the other wire for the alaram is also either loose or not connected... The mechanic told me he can't clear the alarm meaning the car thinks it's being stolen so it cuts all power to the ignition not allowing it to crank ... Right now it's in safe mode. I am hoping the alarm is not fried or the major parts of the ignition... Anyone have any inside on to what color wire coming from the factory radio harness is alarm and ignition wire . I think it will clear my problem.

From my understanding if it, if your car thinks it has tried to have been stolen nothing can reset the immobilizer to let it crank except the dealer's PS2.
Hope this Helps! :cheers:

Saturday's NEWS
 
The mechanic told me that he pulled out the radio fuse and put it back and it started right up. He has the dealer machine but it must be something that either made the fuse shorten out . He says it's something with the harness to the harness that is making everything shorten out. It starts right up now but he said maybe the wires are loose . He says while driving there is no problem but if the car stalls or is shut off it will not be able to be started up again unless the loose connection. I am going to contact the person who installed the radio .
