When I checked the resistance and continuity on the wire harness, there were no abnormalities, yet when I checked the head unit speaker output terminals, I had voltage on ALL terminals, both neg/pos. ... Unfortunately, the replacement had the exact same malfunction, I didn't even plug the speaker wire harness into the head unit, rather I checked the terminals on the back of the head unit first and found the same condition, measurable voltage on ALL terminals, both neg/pos. ...
