[QUOTE="j03sl4ys, post: 7259849, member: 631388"] Ok, so I went back over my work and checked all of the wires and fuses. Fuses were good, but I had my remote hooked up to the power antennae, (ended up being 2 different blue wires, and i picked the wrong one at first) so i fixed that. I connected the cars ground & ground from head unit to the amp ground that comes from the cars harness (dont know if this does anything, because I have my amp grounded to the chassis in the trunk). I separated my ACC and 12v batt wires and checked my fuses again. Found a fuse under the hood that was blown, but I don't know what fuse it was because the cover for the fuse box was missing. I replaced the fuse after fixing the wiring to the head unit and viola, lights work. I turned my car on to test the head unit, and now everything is working perfectly, it shuts off/on with the key, settings stay the same, and all my lights work [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Thanks for the advice on the DMM, probably never would have found that fuse without it because the fuse didn't appear to be blown in the middle like a fuse normally does. It looked fine, but did not work. After this experience I don't think I could encounter much more trouble with installing a head unit, learned alot of things I didn't know, just from trying to google my problem.
