Not enough power. The radio requires a steady 12 VDC input, or in a vehicle, 13.2 VDC. You did not mention if this is a 25 or 50 watt radio. I guess 50 watt. This occurs often when the wire is too thin for the amperage required. Get thick wire or the harness may not provide enough amps and it will get really, really hot! The wiring harness from Vertex is the best one. If you have checked all your wiring AND the power connections, it is less likely a programming error. Let us know!
