Simple fix, pull out the whole DIN sleeve to test it. It is easy to pull out after the radio is out, just pry it up at the top and bottom. Don't worry about bending it, it will bend back into shape as long as you don't kink or crack it and you would have to bend it pretty far to do that. Jim I am curous, with the low cost of after market radios, why not just replace the old Clarion with a new one? That goes for a lot of people in this newsgroup. If you do this, give up on using the existing rear ampliflier, I never did figure out how to utilize it with its weird 6 pin dim connector "Bill Jeffrey" <wjeffreynospamAMalum.mit.edu> wrote in message news:vQG4c.30690$Zp.14152nospamread07... > A schematic would give me the answer at a glance.
