Trouble with Wiring car stero

[Shadowfactor]

Hello,

I Installed my friends new headunit tonight in his 1997 Honda Prelude.

Anyway I got the wiring harness any everything but like the funny thing is that when the car is in setup A the stero works and the AC doesnt and the 2 cabin lights in the car ( the light switches) when pushed turn on and turn off the headunit. Also when you open doors the headunit ( stero) turns it self off till the door the closed.

In setup B the Stero doesnt work but the AC and stuff does work but the cabin light still dont work.

Setup A: fuse is gone from inside of Fuse panel. For AC and other stuff. Under Steering wheel by pedals. But fuse if in the Fuse panel Under the hood and is marked with Clock/ Radio.

Setup B: Fuse is not installed in the ( Under Hood fuse panel) but is installed in the Drivers side Fuse panel installed in the AC Section.

We tested both fuses to make sure they weren't dead or anything and there both working prefect just not together.

There 7.5 A Fuses.

Anyway ideas.

BTW it's a Jensen Headunit , just the standard flip-over headunit.

Both the AC and the stero work when the stock headunit is installed in the car so Im thinking maybe not enough power ?//

alright go through re check all of your fuses , make sure no wires are crossed or touching each other and check fuse also on HU if it has one

Alright None of the wires are touhcing each other because I put E-tape on them to make sure they didnt touch anything else.

The Fuse on the HU is fine other wise the HU wouldnt even work at all.

Im ganna try and put a 15 A fuse where the Clock/Radio 7.5 A fuse is and see what that does and if not IM ganna run a wire from the battery to the HU and wire a INline fuse setup in there.

did that car have a feature before called Retained Accessory Power?

its where the radio stays on until you open the doors (after you took out the key)
