Wierd car grounding issue (I think).
<< < (2/4) > >>
Howard_Casto:
Yeah I'm sure. 

As I've noted above it's currently already attached to the chassis. 

A ground to the battery wouldn't make any difference... unless the ground locations I've already tried are bad... that's what I'm trying to rule out. 
dkersten:
I read it as you had grounded the 5v adapter to chassis ground, not the common side of the input you created in the factory unit.
Howard_Casto:
No the chassis of the stereo. 

The old delco units don't have a common ground wire internally if that's what you mean.  There is a ground wire on the stereo harness, but that leads to the metal housing (chassis) of the stereo. 
dkersten:
But the common wire on the input itself, is it grounded to the chassis of the stereo?  or is it floating (only connected to the pre-amp circuit in the delco)?
Howard_Casto:
Yes, that's the ONLY ground for the stereo.  It wouldn't make any sense to ground it to anything else except to troubleshoot.
