Installing new head unit, problems - pls help
I am trying to install a new clarion head unit. So complicated. I think I have most of it down though.
Problems are the dome light went out, and the climate controls went out.
Can anyone tell me what fuse it may be that blown or worse.
Thanks in advance!

Recheck your wiring w/ the HU. Chance's are if your blowing fuses like that then you may have some wires crosses somewhere or you may have a knocked a ground loose for those ones that you have fried.

yeah, figured the tail light fuses under the hood run the speed/tach cluster, and climate control gauges respectively. Silly, damn right those fuses are riduculous. Wish i wouldnt have been to cheap to buy the harness, think i saved around $0.32 after the headaches and mess was over.
Learn from me people- buy the harness!
Thanks for the help guys

its the same as the 2003 lancer as well for your info cause i used that harness on my car make sure you take the ground wire from the harness and attach to the cd deck as well as grounding it by screwing it in

just picked up a harness for the 05 evo. gonna throw in all Alpine Type-X stuff. should be loud. when i installed the Alpine deck in the 03 evo, i didn't need to attach the ground cable. the mounting brackets were enuff to ground & get power.

MAke sure no wires are touching. I had clairon also and the orange wires do not go to anything. make sure they are not touching at all! That was my prob. and get a connecter and krimp it on the ground wire and undo the bolt on the metal behind the cd player there are 2 bolts. (OR just ground it somewhere) And for my clarion i HAD to ground it. Get ya a big box of fuses and a case of beer and take your time because you messed up somewhere and your just looking over it! Good luck
