Post by: capitlj on May 23, 2006, 12:53:30 PM
Ok so i put a new deck in my car last weekend but i had to go home before i could get everything mounted on saturday planned to finish up sunday well on the way home the deck fell out and now i have no guage lights.  They keep popping the fuse, now heres where it gets confusing the speedo only comes on when i flip the headlights on then pops the fuse a minute later standard digital cluster and ideas guys i really dont want to take my dash all the way out.

Sounds like the radio casing pinched some wiring behind the radio. The light blue/red wires are for interior lights; those are probably what are pinched and would explain why the fuses keep popping. Inspect your radio wiring carefully. Common problem really.

I had the same problem. Ended up being a bad power wire.
