Are you positive it is a working HU? And did your corsica have a radio installed before you did the swap?

Re: UH problem

Are your connections done with electrical tape or did you actually krimp them together?

O wait you said you used harnesses so they just hooked up male adapter to female?

I'm no expert i'm just asking you questions i would generally check if it was my radio..

Re: UH problem

^ i agree....

if your factory radio is working when u match up the wires then maybe you're just matching up the wires wrong for the aftermarket ones.

solder the tips of wire so the copper doesnt fray, then crimp. heatshrink works great, too. (looks cleaner, as well)

Re: UH problem

maybe I have weak hands, but I have the hardest time getting those butt-end crimps to hold BOTH wires - seems one side always wants to comes loose.
