Creepy Install on a V6 Eclipse...

[alpinetypeR 10+ year member]

Stats-

factory Infinity system

sony amp (idr model red amp)

sony subs (red ones)

Bandpass box

for the record i did not recomend this set up nor is it in my car.

all the following was done between 10-12noon yesturday

( my appointment never showed so we had 2 guys doing one car)

so car comes into Best Buy and me and my fellow installer start taking out the passinger side seat to place the Inline converter after the amp

(inline converter brand- Installers Edge (rockford off brand))

wire it up put the seat back in.

take out factory radio and wire the remote turn on wire to the decks acc. wire.

while i ran the power cable down the drivers side my other installer is doing the ground.

( i dont know where he put the ground keep in mind)

after the ground was done he ran the rca's and i put the radio console back together.

while doing the Inline Converter we unplugged the factory amp and the radio lost power, and needed a code.

after the install was completly done. i told the young lady that she needed to get the code from a Mitsu dealer and come back with it so i can program it in for her.

while working on the car i noticed the smell of burnt clutch, very badly burnt clutch.

i brought this up, and she told me she just bought it 2 weeks ago and learned 5 speed on it. she knew aboupt the clutch and was getting it replaced tomarrow AM.

i pull the car out of the bay and tell my self id be surprised if it last that long. it was that bad.

when i closed the door to get out of the car i heard the subs "pop" like a bass note just went threw the amp. i was like WTF!! the radio is turned off and the car was running.

i told her this also.

she came back at 2;30 pm and told me the dealer gave her the code and told her how to put it in and that BBY broke the radio becuase it should say code on the display but the display was out... Blown fuse...

i pull the car into the bay after doing the check list and then as soon as i open the hood she goes OMG I HAVE TO PICK UP MY KID FROM SCHOOL I NEED MY CAR...

so i go umm ok back it out of the bay again and realize that the clutch barly works. tell her this and i get i kno i kno i will get it fixed tomarrow. i tell her she might want to do it today before its to late. she resonds with no no i want to get my stereo working tis more important //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif what is she //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif i think so

well she sauid shell be back at 7 pm to have it all fixed...tell her ok and that ill see her then.

7PM

pull the car in and the clutch is even worse! WTF how can some one destroy it that bad in 2 weeks?

well i look in the car and i see a PENNY in the cig lighter.pull it out replace fuse and WALA everythign lights back up...

problems that still exsist

-i put the code they gave me in the radio -> it ended up locking the radio

-when ever you hit the driver door the subs "bump"

---->how the **** is that [possible...no wires even ran to the door..even the remote wire was ran down the pass side.

im looking at the driver door more closly and i realize the door is a differnt sahde then the hood and the hatch...i look closer and realize the car was TBONED and the hole driver side is pretty much bondo...

tell her the install is fine nothing we did to cause the problem take it up with thte dealer you bought it from....

DUN DUN DUN

im pulling it out of the bay and WAAAALAAA the clutch goes and it wont move any where...i looked at her and said see i told you the clutch was more important then the audio system...she crys "what am i going to do"

haha **** that sucks.

parks the car in the BBY parking lot over night. i told her to prey no one steal her rims lol...

what a day that was.

Sounds to me like your install was so bad, you blew her clutch and, messed up her door-to subwoofer converter! Man, thats bad!

you NEVER unplug a radio with a blinking security light unless you have the code. Ever. It can be a PITA but it's never the customer's job to have to get the code for the radio.

So did you just leave it with the sub popping like that or are you going to fix it?

i didnt unplug it im aware of this...

i think it was becuase of the penny blowing the fuse.
