So I'm trying to hook up the new stereo in my car that I got for Christmas. The interior lights go out along with my clock as I'm cutting off the old stereo harness. Come to find out it's the 12v live wire that I cut. Last person who wired the system did a shit job so I went from wire to wire with a 9v battery to figure out which speaker was what. Also used it to find my positives and negatives. I'm not getting any power from my 12v always live now but my ignition power is working fine. I can touch the two together when the car is getting power and it'll complete the circuit. Any advice from /o

Never cut wiring. Always spend a few bucks for an adapter harness.

You have to cut it so you can put the adapter harness in you dillweed.

Nah, you can cut wiring, just know what the fuck you're doing and use connectors that are easily available when joining them.
Best regards did electronic work on commercial vehicles.

Not the head unit wiring. The factory wiring. Buy an adapter with the octopus of wires, a heat gun, iron, and shrink tubing.

You can just wire 12V from your battery through fuse and into your headunit and you should be fine
