Check yer fuses. There are two of them. One for Radio One, and one for Power Amp. If that's not it, it may be yer HU. The serial number must match exactly with the origional Dodge HU. It doesnt matter if the HU's are identical, they are all different internally if the SN dont match up. Even if the wiring harnesses fit. It makes no sense, but that's the reality of the situation.

Who's doing all the yelling? Who cares if u respond to an old post or starting a new topic without searching the forum. Is it really skin off of anyone's nose? Like I said before, just becuz a post is old, that doesnt mean someone isnt having that very same problem currently. Does anyone really care that the forum wasnt searched before starting up a "new" topic. If so, then why? Dont read it then! U have that choice. If it's a ditto, maybe it mite generate a different response from a fresh perspective. I find that it's not always clear when a post was posted. If it's that big a deal, then maybe the forum Nazis should clearly "red flag" the offending fossil posting and warn to stay away in red text or a swastika or something noticable, or take it down already. Seriously, if its that much of an issue, then clean-up the offending relics and post current ones, with an option to look at the classics if so desired. They are still Dakota problems that can be learned from. Tell Das Fuhrer, who ever he is, to effin' chill already. It's not like there is limited space to post. Dont be a pest and get pissed over a post from the past!

Also.....WTF MAN? Whoever? Whatever? The friggin heading sez: "recommended reading" and all the posts recommended are fucking a damn decade old!!!! That's why I responded to them, cuz the forum recommended them. Go figure? It should say "not recommended reading dammit." Dont funnel readers that way which yer gonna get pissed about. (Whoever "you" are? SS? Yer just setting yerself up for this ridiculousnessnessness for Chrissakes! It's like saying, "dont eat the yellow snow" as yer serving up golden snowcones! Wut gives? It seems like this is a forum conundrum created by some dumb-dumb! Dont recommend it, if yer gonna condemn it! Who does that? danXdress(er)?

Since this is my first forum experience, im entitled to ask a stupid question. Set me straight Radioactive. What is a thread, and how does it differ from a post? Last I heard, threads were wut yer wearing. Yes I'm old school and proud of it! Thanx for any info. Pre-she-ate-it!

First off, we try to be civil here, no need to call anyone a Nazi or SS or any such response. Personal attacks and name calling is just plain impolite. There are moderators here but they don't act unless someone reports a post to them. I'm not one of them.

Pointing out replies to old threads isn't intended to be nasty, just informative. You waste your own energy replying to an old thread. It's not helpful to the original poster -- who is long gone whether or not his 12 year old problem is solved. This forum is all about helping others but it only makes sense if the OP still has the problem.

I know, I know, someone might have the same problem. Sure -- but he's going to a) either start a new relevant thread, or b) go to the google and find his answer before posting. That's why these forums are no longer very popular. There's a vast repository of info anyone can find now with a simple search -- including on sites like this -- much more than there was even 5 years back. I never chastise anyone for asking a question even if it's been brought up before a hundred times, because I enjoy helping when I can.

A thread is just a chain of posts in response to other posts, just like this chain.

We want you here -- we welcome all comers with something to contribute, comment on, or questions to ask. Just like to keep it civil and current.

The "suggest readings" you see are entirely computer generated -- going off keywords in your posts or what you are reading. It would be smarter if they only looked back 6 months, but alas....

And as far as old school, I'd venture a guess that I'm a whole lot more old school than you.... at 60 I'm proud of that.

Hey right on RA! Not a whole lot though. In five months I will have made my 57th orbit around the Sun! Sorry about my French. I would never just enter a room full of strangers and just start with the colorful lingo. But then again, nobody has ever called me a liar, straight-up rite off the bat either. Talk about impolite! That danXdress! Wuts up his uh, buttocks? Yeah, I was (still am) offended by his blathering. Is he always such a warm ray of sunshine? Nobody ever calls me a liar! I never hear that usually, cuz quite frankly, I dont tell lies. I'm straight-up as u can be. Sure I mite tell u that those jeans dont make yer ass look fat. But I'm not gonna make up stories just for the sake of indulging things, cuz my life already indulges enuff and scoops that reality bull-shi.....uh, cow poo-poo out in spades for me. If anything I need to down-play things. It seems my life is punctuated by certain unusual situations that lots of peeps are not familiar with or have never heard of before, including myself at times. For better or definitely for worse. All to often, I find myself in very unusual, untypical situations that seem hard to believe. Not everything all the time, but definitely enuff, too much of the time! Case in point......danXdress. I've never heard of the tranny cannister filter coming off. But its bound to wreak havoc if it does, and it did. Another unusuality.(if thats not a word it should be) If I told him about the unusual things that come my way, he would swear that I'm a pathological liar. Thats cuz he knows all there is to know, and anything to the contrary is wrong or a lie. I know the type as my ex is a female version of that mentallity. Like I always say, "u just dont know wut u dont know, and especially wut u have forgotten!" Anyway, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. I will do my best to b civil and keep things PG. Like danXdress said, people come here to learn. I hope that is not lost on him, cuz evidently he could be "larned uh thang r tew!" Yeah, I got a weird message a little while back, stating something about a thread that I havent read, and until I do I wont b getting anymore or something to that effect??? I really didnt quite know wut to make of it. It made me feel like some kinda Big Bro was watchin me tho. That's when I went off and responded to all those ancient posts. Yeah, they (who?) made me do it! They kinda coerced me into doing that. The message i.got was, if u dont participate then we r gonna take our ball and go home, and then u cant play. When yer ride is down, that's the priority. And basically u do everything u can to get on the path to a fix. So I figured it cant hurt to.play along. Then numb nuts calls me a liar. I know for sure most peeps wouldnt take too kindly to that level of disrespect. If i didnt see the value of this kind of forum, i would have bailed like a Phantom pilot on a bombing mission over Hanoi as hes getting blasted out of the sky by Charley's Triple A fire! "Charley dont surf!" Why cant the computer generate some current posts to stick in my face instead of spewing fossilized fodder at me? It's like some kinda textual entrapment. It's like, "psst, hey man, check this out dude. GOTCHA! That post is 50 yrs old sucka. Haha!" This smart computer stuff is soooooo damn aggravating and frustrating. U do a search for Dodge parts and its displaying Honda crap in amongst yer Dodge stuff. Especially after all the specifics. Wuts up with that garbage? I could do a better search manually by myself. I despise computers. They r a necessary evil. And I mean EVIL! Just like she became! A necessary evil. Alrite RA. Thanx for the heads-up!
