[QUOTE="jackjohn13, post: 7413443, member: 634989"] Hey guys I just bought a new car, 98 golf. And it came without a radio or any speakers. The previous onwer said the radio worked but he took it out to sell it. Today i went to install my Alpine CDE-102 and ran into some trouble, mind you this isnt my first install but by no means am i an expert. This is the second time ive installed this same radio (first time took 15 mins without any problems). Anyways i pulled the wiring harness out off the gaping hole in the dash and the wires touched, stupid me i know. I heard the wires spark so now im just wondering what the damage could be. Do i need a new harness and adaptor? or is it something as simple as a fuse. 9/10 i dissconect my battery before working on anything in the car, the one time i didn't this happens. (Long story short the live wires of the harness touched eachother and i heard a crackle, this was before i connected any new wires). Any insight would be greatly appreciated, Im really getting into the car audio stuff and want to learn everything i can. Sorry if this was long and thanks for reading! [/QUOTE]
