I was looking through the FSM today and saw that there are two colums for the audio system... one with and one with out a sunroof. Does anyone know why this is? The reason why I bring this up is that after I installed a new stereo neither my sunroof or overhead lights work... and I think that this will lead me towards the answer. Anyone know what the deal is with the bose system? Thanks everyone.

I think that's just the shop manual's way of telling you touring or non-touring. The stereo wiring for the non-Bose cars is quite different.

Just looked at the sunroof and overhead light wiring in the shop manual. The sunroof is pretty much the 15A SUNROOF fuse, that's it. The overhead lights are the 10a ROOM fuse. Both of these fuses is by the passenger kick panel.

Did you install the stereo with a plug-in harness adapter or did you cut and splice? If it's like the FC, the illumination line for the stereo will test as a ground - you do NOT hook the stereo ground up to the illumination line. There should be a separate spade connector for the stock stereo that's the stereo ground.

Have you unplugged/removed the stereo, checked the fuses, and tried it?

I have checked and double checked all the fuses, those arent the problem... and I did not use a harness, I just cut and spliced... I hooked up the stereo ground to the chassis, not just a wire from the old harness. The only wire that I used in the install was a power wire that is on when the key is turned to ACC, and for power thats on all the time I used an existing wire that I was using.

 

anyone else know what it could be?
