[QUOTE="jwarren808, post: 8242903, member: 633428"] thanks for replying, i will check fuses, i replaced dome light fuse a while ago, and i am not using an amp or anything to turn it on remotely, so don't need blue wire, and i'll cap it off, and my car does'nt have a power antenna either, some people said the orange/white "dimmer/illumination" wire would connect to an illumination input terminal, which would be on some pioneer head units, but if it does'nt have such input on your head unit, to just not connect to anything, and i did'nt see any input on mine?, but my head unit does have a feature where you can adjust the brightness level of the display illumination, and i was wondering if that wire has anything to do with that ? cause i do want to be able to use that feature and adjust how bright it is ? so if it has that feature, would'nt there be somewhere that orange wire is supposed to connect to on the head unit harness ? or head unit ? as far as the black ground wire, i see that theres a black ground wire coming out of the pioneer wire harness, and also that theres a black ground wire on the harness adapter also, but i don't understand how you i would ground it ? do you mean splice a wire coming off of the black ground wire in the harness and connect it to the chassis/body ? or if i were to run a new ground wire, where would i connect it on the back of the head unit ? i see some screws on the back, but are there certain spots meant to run a ground wire from ? thanks [/QUOTE]
