Ill check this tomorrow. Was going to anyways

This is what my gauge back looks like. What do you mean

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ill check the fuses over tomorrow, like i said it just randomly did not turn on one day, and would turn on after awhile of having the car started sometimes.

I also just found the manual to my model online, if all else fails ill just move where the power is connected now

The red wire is the power wire (Asked an Aeroforce Tech for clarification).

Tap into the red wire and send it to a new 12v power source. It turns off because of a poopy 12v power source, so you need to make a new one. Common problem with these old aeroforces.

I learned that from this user manual which can be found here:

Really weird. We just found the same thing at the same time lol... Thanks again man!

So I hooked the red wire coming out of the obdii connector directly to the radio fuse in the interior fuse panel , still nothing :/ is the obd port fused ?

I have the old aeroforce . Look at the pic I posted , there's a red wire that comes out of the connector like Dan says above ^

OK so looking at my interior fuse panel , I found that there's a fuse missing , but there's only 1 fuse post ? Its the 2nd row down 4th from left . You can see there's onlyone post for a fuse to go into wtf? Its ccalled "radio amp 20A " is that linked to the obdii ? The yellow wire I just ran to the red hookup for the aero force .all I had was yellow wire :/

Bump for help?

Replace that 20amp radio fuse with the proper 10amp per the cover.
I've installed a ton of aeroforces. In a GP you need seperate power, it's a GP's suck thing. The better W body doesn't need that power source.
Turn your cover the same way as your fuse box picture and you will understand that you don't have the optional amplifier in the car. That's why you don't have that other side of the tabs in the fusebox. You aren't missing anything, your car wasn't fully optioned.

I know thats just temp. Im trying to figure out why it wont turn on. Isnt making sense to me. Checking all my bases. SO what do you recommend i do. Im not an idiot just frustrated, and stuck.

Only other thing I can suggest is to test the wire. Once you know it's getting power, have patience. Aeroforces don't come on instanty. They take a moment.

I have even hooked it right to the battery, nothing yet :/ Threw a post up on the aeroforce fourms as well. Hopefully i can get some help
