I Need help... i hardwired my xm like so http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=47184

it worked but cut off when i wen to start the car... i discussed how to fix that in the post. so today i had time adn took my car apart. spliced the "start" wire into the line going to the positive of my xm
and then it stoped working

i checked the fuses they are allright... but for some reason the radio wont work... whn i started the car the radio had power but when i put teh key back to how you have it just running the radio died. then i gave up and moved my car to my spot and i noticed teh radio came on when i had teh car running but no sound... i dont know what to do... i may bring it in to ford but i really dont want to... im gonna bring it to my frineds house to get another perspective on the probelm but if that donest work does anyone have any suggestions.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIEATED AND WELCOMED!!!

 

Update to my problem... I noticed that the power windows no longer work and onemore wierd thing...

when the engine is running the radio (no Sound) is on and wheni turn the motor off it stays on till i open the door liek its suposed to but when i just turn the key to the op postion with out the car on i dont get any any radio.... this is a poblem that boggles my head.

 

I found out i out i blew fuse #6 in the passenger side fuse box.

Don't wire the "start" and the "power" wires for the radio togther. it doesnt work and makes the other accories not work correctly
