So the PO installed a pioneer deh - p6300 in my jeep and the other day the buttons stopped working so I had to take the deck out to turn it off, but it respond to volumes controls and still play my iPod but no buttons would work, today I'm driving down the road and bam, radio cuts out. It is completely unresponsive. I check the fuse in the passenger side kick panel, right side 3rd from the top blue 15 amp. It's fine. I would like to not have to buy a new deck any help is appreciated!

 

It probably **** the bed.
Depending on the HU, there would be an external power wire with an inline fuse in it. Check that. Make sure it is getting power with a MM. If it is then it's probably toast.

 

Well I just found out it has power, the head flips down and u can put a cd back there, I hit the eject button and it beeps and I hear the motor to the cd try to eject it... I'm thinking just the face to it took a crap, not the actual guts behind it

 

You might be able to find a face for it depending on how old it was. You can also just get a new one in the ballpark of $100.

 

Check the contacts on the back of the face, sometimes they get a little corrosion/film on them and then the HU will start to act erratically. You can usually clean them up with some isopropyl alcohol.

 

I'm going to best buy in a bit, I'll have the guy look at it if he doesn't charge me, otherwise I might buy a new deck while I'm there, take money from the bumper fund...

 

Tried that too

 

Why don't you check out:

onlinecarstereo.com
or
woofersetc.com

This is where I buy my stuff.

Look into clarion or alpine.

 

I'm gonna see into getting another pioneer and maybe the wire harness is just plug and play

 

Check those sites before you go to best buy. You will probably spend double at best buy.

Bought one at best buy, $40 for a $100 deck, their employees are dumb...

 

bwahahahhahaah. what happened?

 

I told the guy he didn't have the most recent model on the shelf, I've bought other stuff from him and he normally knows his stuff, but this time he did his job poorly. He didn't know what he was selling!
