well today i replaced my radio (worked before & the first was aftermarket too) wired it up EXACTLY the same way but now my windows dont work, power mirrors or radio...the memory side of the radio works but it just wont turn on and i have no power going to the fuse place for the radio or the windows....both the fuse for the radio and the relay for the windows are fine ....so i hope someone can tell me these three things run in a circuit together, and why it would do this/what i may have un hooked....please someone help me

 

Could be the RAP (Retained Accessory Power) module.

 

check for wires pulled out, u might have caughten something up and pulled it and maybe broke the wire, who knows, make sure u double check all ur fuses aswell, just inspect the wirring behind ur stereo not sure wat else to say

 

wheere is this rap...is it in the cluster or relay looking boxes located above my feet to the left?? ...i was wiggling them around trying to se if it would help but nothing...i was hoping you would chime in shoebox...i sent you an email earlier

 

My Tech Page has pics of it's location and schematics of it. You can easily bypass it for testing.

 

ok just checked and there is no power present at the connector to ANY of the wires to the module, so what now....i hate asking for help but i have no clue about this thing, im usually pretty good with the wiring stuff too

 

I saw in another forum, you posted that a new RAP module fixed it.

 

Im almost 99% sure its the rap module. mine did the same. I didn't bother replacing it. I just ran my own hot wire that I turn on when I get in my car. it turns on my radio and windows. I put a small LED switch under the cigarette ligher.

 

i just soldered a wire across the burnt portion on the module (the thing is $89 from gm) AND THAT FIXED IT if anyone else has this problem i can send pics of what i did to fix

 

you should post some pictures. I'd like to see how you did it

 

Check all ur fuses...I think it might be the blue on and its number 15 i think. Sounds to me like u blew a fuse.
