Unhook all your connections to the head unit except for the red 12v b+, yellow which is 12v for memory, and black which is ground. What this does is check to see if it's something connected or if the unit itself has a problem internally.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/mark_b53a7494531bf96d

Got in car this morning and radio was blinking protect

Hi.

Protect mode is a special condition that kicks in when an internal fault has been detected. In protect mode all the unit function are disabled to prevent the stereo getting more damage in consequence of the fault. The state is a forced standby condition that starts when a wrong voltage or a short is detected.

Try disconnecting the battery terminal, pulling the radio out of the dash and checking the wiring at the back of the stereo. Most of the time protect mode is triggered by a wiring contact. If possible check also speaker wiring. A contact in wiring to speakers will trigger protect.

Regards.

What is the wiring diagram on a kenwood cd player? i unhooked stock stereo in 93 pontiac sunbird cut all the wiring and cant figure the wires out on cd player

Scroll down to page 15 on this link i gave you. If you removed the factory stereo, don't throw away the connector that plugs in to the back of the factory radio. Go to wal mart or any car audio install shop and buy yourself the wiring harness for your particular model car and year, it will definitely save you a headache due to the fact that some car wiring systems are wired differently and are somewhat complicated at times. http://manual.kenwood.com/files/B64-3691-00_00.pdf

How to hook up a kdc-105 kenwood in a sunfire

There are 3 things you need to purchase for this install. 1) The factory spec install kit. 2) The factory spec additional wiring harness. 3) Antenna adapter.

Find the easied way to remove the plastic cowling around the radio and ac controls. Usually you can locate screws helping to retain the plastic dash parts. Be careful not to break the plastic dash by taking your time and looking over and over the part ofr connection hardware. Once you have located and removed all/if any screws, carefully pry out on the piece you are removing. There are often metal clips on the back of the piece that also help to retain the dash. Once that is removed, unbolt/unclip the factory stereo and slowly pull it out of the dash. Remove the factory harness from the backside of the factory stereo. DO NOT CUT THE HARNESS!! The wiring harness you have purchased is designed to plug and play into the factory harness. All you hae to do is color match the Kenwoods harness with the one you purchased. When wiring the two harnesses together use connectors **** a **** connectors, crimp connectors so forth and so on. If there is wiring you will not be using, take some electrical tape and tape the bare wire. We don't want a short. Once you are sure and have doubled checked that all the wiring is secure and matched, reverse the order of disassembly.

The plastic install kit should replace the factory radio size difference. Just remember to take the metal sleeve tha came with the kenwood and install it into the plastic install kit via the instructions provided. Slide the Aftermarket stereo into the sleeve you just installed. Then you are ready to make all the needed connections. Before you reassemble everything make sure to do a test run with your stereo. If all is well reassemble and jam on.
