I replaced the old clarion source unit in my boat with a new M475 clarion, everything was working fine for the last 3 weeks when all of a sudden the stereo stopped working....OK lets find the problem, oh no it's not that easy, the unit has 3 wires for power, a yellow wire very thick that clarion calls a memory lead hooked straight to the battery, a black wire ground that is wired to a block of grounds behind my steering council, and a thin red wire that is hooked to my ignition switch that powers the unit on when the switch is in accessory mode, very straight forward, the problem is, that the unit just sits there and blinks on and off repeatedly and thats it, so I hooked the black wire up to the negative post of a spare battery, and the yellow and red wires to the positive post and it works beautiful, so I thought to bypass all my installed boat wiring and ran new wires accross the birth from the radio to the ground block and to the ignition switch and the dam thing just sits there and blinks on and off, so it"s not the wires what the "H" is going on here?:huh:
