I just finish a dvd install in a van. When I finish I got a grey blank
screen. I check and change the video cable, I switch the screen and I
also check for power and polarity, nothing work. I am using a pyle dvd
player with built in tuner (plt98) The dvd player have a 12v output,
that particular output was showing 11.73v which is enough to power the
screen. other part of the vehicle was showing 12.40v. I started the
vehicle and the higher voltage from the alt didn't help. I
disconnected the power from the back of the dvd that was feeding the
screen and pwr it directly from the batt and the screen work ok. To
make a long story short even though I was getting power from at the
back of the dvd player it was not working properly but when I get pwr
from other part of the vehicle it work fine

Cool thanks for sharing. But I would check the other wiring as to the
cause of voltage drop.

EFFENDI

The DVD's 12v output is probably intended to drive a relay that will supply
power to the other equipment...

For more info on wiring a relay, visit www.UnderTheDash.com and post
specific wiring questions on 'the Board...

What? No one flames him about PYLE? That's interesting (and quite mature).
Is PYLE okay now or something? About 18 months ago when I said I was
thinking about getting a PYLE MP3 player, I got hammered (BTW it's still
going sweet as).

Just Wondering,
Daniel
