thanks guys.

just upgraded the cd unit on my fd using the Bose/Schosche Adapter and alpine HU ,following all the wiring instructions and even getting the stock amps to activate, however---- for some damn reason now the parking lights(tail and corner lights) FUSE IS BEING BLOWN OUT(15W-FUSE) help help what could be the source of the problem.
The radio works fine.

 

Did you hook a ground up to the dash light wire ? If you have anything tied into that wire try disconnecting it and replace the fuse and see it that helps. You may also have a pinched wire in that circuit as well (dash lights come on with parking lamps)

 

FOR SOME REASON every time the new stereo is install/connected the dash and tail light fuse is being blown out.. i think i have to re-examine the stereo connections.

 

if you hook up the dimmer wire instead of a true ground to the ground on the radio you will blow the fuse everytime you turn on the lights.change the ground to good known ground not dimmer.

 

I've seen this once or twice before.

Take out your headunit and the wire harness that goes along with it and tape up or somehow cover up any wire that are hanging around. Those copper wires have electric current flowing through them. What happens is that they touch the metal in the dash and for some reason will blow out your dash/tail lights.

Just replace the fuse and cover up those wires and you should be fine. If the problem persists then you might have some serious problems. I won't get into that unless you come back and it's still happening. :P

 

guys i've managed to solve the problem with the fuse blowing out. i seems that i had the illum wire and dimmer from the HU connected to the same factory wire. now i just have the illum wire connected to the unit and have the dimmer hanging dead. now i have all the system working. but still have to figure out what i need to do in order to have my dimmer control function back???????????? solved it partically... what now...
