First off I'll start by apologizing because I'm brand new to the forum and don't intend on abusing it. Sorry if my post is in the wrong area etc. Now on to my URGENT issue I need resolved..
I have a 2003 Lincoln LS which I decided to put some subs and an amp in. I used a Line Out Converter for the RCA's because I wanted to keep my factory stereo. Everything is wired up correctly etc., the amp has power and the RCA's have great signal. I have installed many systems and know what I'm doing but I've never ran into TTHHIISSSSS....
All of a sudden my stereo head unit WILL NOT WORK!! I checked the fuses for the radio on the passenger side under glove compartment and they are good. The CRAZIEST part is the fact that if I press the "Menu" button, my clock appears on the display and I can adjust the time. And also if I press the load CD button it will allow me to load CD's as well as eject them(also appearing on the stereo display). But if I press the Volume knob in (which turns the stereo on/off), nothing happens. Same as when I press the "CD" or "FM/AM" button.. nothing happens and the display is black.
I have no idea what is wrong, all I could assume is maybe it's an anti-theft or theft mode type of ordeal, and I have no idea how to determine if that would be the issue.
Anyhow, PLEASE HELP MEEE!!! My beautiful Lincoln is sitting in the garage with the battery disconnected and I'm heartbroken. ENTHUSIASTS PLEASE HELP MEEEEE !!!!
