Odd electrical issue

Lunar-Eclipse

I wasn't getting 12V at the kick panel. I was getting 2.4V and I was grounding my probe against the bare metal or the firewall.

Ah. That's sounds like you weren't getting power to the Fuse Block. IIRC, power to the fuse block for the sockets comes from the ACC output of the IPDM (next to the battery), but would need to go through the drawings to be sure.

Where on the fuse block did you take your measurement? If you were not on the "hot" side of the fuse contacts, you would be seeing stray voltage.

Grounds can be tricky, especially on modern cars. Try to find a place where other equipment is grounded and use that. Make sure you have a spot that is free of paint/varnish/grease/&c.


I don't think the HU is the problem. You probably knocked something loose when changing.

I was measuring from the right side of the socket. The side closest to the front of the car.

I'm pretty sure the other contact provided no reading. But don't quote me on that. I've looked at that kick panel like 30 times today.
