Clipping and locking off?
Not sure what your meaning?
Elaborate please.

By checking, he means disconnect and hit them with sand paper.

Have good grounds on all connections. I'm thinking it might be the head unit either going or gone. Played good today. Also checked the fuses that are hooked up. Still banging my head on whats the actual problem.

You can get a new X-Plode (BT3700) with bluetooth and USB for $180. And you will just need to plug it into your old harness.
