My birthday is tomorrow, and my Fiancee got me a new Kenwood KDC-MP2032 deck for my 92 Nissan Stanza XE. I convinced her to give it to me early. I'm trying to install it, but cannot seem to get it powered up. I am certain I have it wired correctly, but I am a bit confused as to where the ground wire should attach. I have tried a few places where I can see bare metal, but it still wont work. What's making this upgrade difficult, is that the stock wiring harness was cut off. I still have both molex connectors, and I also purchased the aftermarket wiring harnesses... but currently I am not using either of them. For now, I just connected the main wires to the deck wires with some electrical tape. I am using the antenna adapter though. I've also checked the fuse box, and everything looks good there. I just don't know what to check next.

According to my research, my wires should be/are connected as follows:

stock color(band color) - deck colors - function:
blue (brown band) - purple - RR-
pink (brown band) - purple/black stripe - RR+
green (brown band) - green/black stripe - LR-
red (blue band) - green - LR+
black/red stripe (silver band) - blue - Power Ant.
red/white stripe (silver band) - yellow - 12v+ Memory
red/yellow stripe (silver band) - orange/white stripe - Dimmer+
red/blue stripe (silver band) - orange - Illumination
blue (silver band) - red - 12v+ ign/acc
brown/white stripe (blue band) - gray/black stripe - RF-
brown (blue band) - gray - RF+
blue/white stripe (brown band) - white - LF+
blue/yellow stripe (brown band) - white/black stripe - LF-
no wire provided - black - Ground

On the deck wire harness, there are 3 wires I do not have connected:
1) P.Cont (Power control/Motor antenna control wire) - Blue/White
2) Mute (TEL Mute wire) - Brown
3) Ant. Cont (indicated in the manual as Not Used) - Blue.

The 3 wires from the underdash harness I am not using are:
1) red/yellow stripe (silver band) - orange/white stripe - Dimmer+
2) red/blue stripe (silver band) - orange - Illumination
3) black/red stripe (silver band) - blue - Power Ant.

One other thing is, my power seat belts will only retract when the ignition is on. Plus, I have no chime... and my clock wont work. And when the stock cassette deck is installed, it wont keep preset memory. It all used to work, so there must be a fuse or a relay I'm overlooking.

Any suggestions? Where am I going wrong? I really don't want to fork out $100 to take it in to the pros. They wanna sell me "their" wire harness... which is exactly what I already have, and not entirely needed anyways.

Well nevermind... I found out what the problem was. A simple blown fuse. :screwy:
