Guages

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.

Honda owners are like rabbits......they hide under your shed during the winter and then 30 of them come popping out around spring.

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.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
