[QUOTE="BuckyBoy, post: 3440314, member: 581370"] Alright here is what happened. I used electrical tape to connect the red(acc) and yellow(backup) wires temporarily to be sure when I hooked them up the head unit would work. I plugged both harnesses in and it worked fine, but then the tape came off of the connection between the yellow wires from the car harness and the radio harness. They sparked when they hit metal. I taped them back up and the head unit would not get power. We got a test light and figured out that the red wire was getting power when the switch was on. We put the radio harness yellow wire into the connection of the red wires and the head unit had power. So, we ran a wire from the horn fuse to the yellow wire on the radio harness. (Redneck wiring at its greatest, but it worked) I do not want it to stay like this at all. After we did this and I mounted the radio into the dash we went for a ride. The sunroof will not open, the doors will not lock with the remote when I get out of the car and my clock doesn't work. I am assuming all this is because we ran the wire into the fuse. How can I fix this? [/QUOTE]
