7160 (-k) Ignition sense

[rstoltenberg1]

Hello,

After my last radio quit, I got a used 7160 from a friend. He showed me it worked before it was removed from his truck. I goto put it in mine, and it won't power up. I think Ignition sense is active. It turned on and off with the key when he showed me it worked. I was pretty sure I had it wired correctly when I installed it in my truck, but it refuses to power on. I didnt get the Yellow wire from him because he was going to use it for his 7360. But I ran a wire from the yellow pin in the connector, to a 12v switched source and no go. After some research, I think it is pin 2 in the connector, which is pink. But it was still a no-go. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks

If you've got the KCT-39 cable (rectangular 15 pin connector) Pin 2, the pink wire, is the ignition sense cable. Make sure it's a known good switched power source and your DC power cables are run to the battery.

Also, say if I touched the ignition sense wire to my constant 12v, would it still not turn on?

Yes, I have the KCT-39. So the pink is the ignition sense. Thank you. If I put the Ignition sense to my constant 12v, Would that not let the radio turn on? Just to test it?

You'll need to connect the 12 volt power leads, negative and positive, appropriately.
Then, try attaching the pink wire from the #2 pin to a known good 12 volt source. You may need to manually turn the radio on using it's power switch.

If that doesn't work, you might need to open up the radio and make sure the KCT-39 cables are properly connected inside the radio.

The ignition sense function can be programmed via the software. You can disable it if you want.

The 12v leads go direct to the battery, both positive and negative are fused. I'll run the pink wire to the stereo tomorrow after it finishes raining. I'd disable it now, but I dont think I can run the software until I get the radio on with the ignition sense.

I'd try connecting the ignition sense directly to the battery for testing.
