WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - ANTHONYD - 10-10-2010
Alright.
So I finally got all the parts I needed to get my stock radio put back in and it still doesn't work. 3 weeks waiting to get all this s**t.
I bought the stock harness from a member, along with the antenna wire and hard wired it all up. colour to colour no problem.
Plugged it in and nothing. no power, no sound, no nothing.
I'm ready to bash the s**t out of this fuckin' car.
If i can't get it sorted out in the next few days, I'm just going to take it to a stereo shop and have a new system put in.
What could I have done wrong?
I have completely removed all my old stereo components, amps, wiring rca wires etc... Could i have missed something?
Could the stock deck in the member's car I bought the harness from be different? I don't get it.

You checked the fuse right? I know it sounds stupid.
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? - ANTHONYD - 10-10-2010
No i haven't.

RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? - Focus man. Focus. - 10-10-2010

What year is your car. I know my 05 is different from the 06!

In my 02 the radio fuse is 15A and in position 31 in the fuse pannel.
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? - ANTHONYD - 10-14-2010
Okay.
Replaced the blown fuse. Thanks guys.
Deck works fine. Sounds like s**t, but works fine.
Now I don't have any dash lights. No cluster, no climate controls etc...
The decks display lights up, but nothing else.
WTF???
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - GFXjamie - 10-14-2010
short out another fuse or a bad relay possibly?
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - konafocuswrc - 10-14-2010
u got dimmer/illumination wires shorted out i guess, there must be another blown fuse.
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - hardk0re - 10-14-2010
I think another fuse for sure.
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - ANTHONYD - 10-15-2010
Checked the fuse that controls the cluster accessories and hazard light illumination. Fuse was fine.
WTF???
Could it be anything else?
I'm ready to burn this car down.

Will do!
thanks or all your help.
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - ANTHONYD - 10-17-2010
All those fuses are fine. I give up.

Download your owner's manual:
It'll save you some headaches, print out the fuse pages and make sure you throw them in your glove box.

Have you checked the wires in your dash opening to make sure they didn't cut any not going to the radio?
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - hardk0re - 10-17-2010
What if you unplug your radio...do your dash lights come on then?
RE: WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG? ***NEW ISSUE*** - ANTHONYD - 10-17-2010
I'm out of gas today.
I'll rip it all apart again tomorrow.
As far as checking the dash light when the radio is NOT plugged in.... that something i haven't tried yet.
