Sounds like something is messed up inside. Is this an older unit? A search at the JVC site turned up nothing with that number.Search Master - Honorary Member of Midwest Festiva Inc., Gulf Coast Chapter

Id double check you hot wires make sure youve got them correct. 1 will be constant power to hold memory and time when car is off and the other is actual power when the key is turned on. double chack and make sure your grounds are good as well.
Also make sure there wasnt some sort of transport screw in the unit that was supposed to come out before installation.Some manufactures put them in.Search Master - Honorary Member of Midwest Festiva Inc., Gulf Coast Chapter

Youve still got something wrong. You shouldnt have them both running to the same source.Search Master - Honorary Member of Midwest Festiva Inc., Gulf Coast Chapter

Constant (Yellow wire typically) should be connected to something that is always live, Switched (red wire Typically) gets connected to something that gets switched on when the key is turned on.
Sounds like you have both hooked up to what only the switched (typically Red) should be hooked up to.Previous owner of a '89 Graphite L, 4spd, GL Seats, Aspire Brakes, 14x6's, 185/60/14's
