radio not working/keyless entry not working

AndyDick · 08-03-2008, 10:03 PM

Today i wired in my aem serial gauge, i used the 12v wire from the stock clock pin connector and then grounded it to the the glove box support. Gauge works fine but after startup i noticed my radio doesnt turn on anymore, but the radio buttons light up just not the info display, I also noticed my cabin light not longer works, I checked the radio fuse in the car and it was fine.

Any ideas ?

It sounds like you tied into the dash lights control power not the normal power for the clock. You have also blown a fuse somewhere it appears. Check the panels under the hood and the dash.

i also noticed that my trip meter works when im driving the car but resets after i turn the car off.

Check the fuses in the box under the hood, you blew one.

did this resolve it? im having the same problem but i couldnt find a bad fuse... clock doesnt work, radio, interior lights, or keyless entry...

Check fuse #2 in the main panel under the hood. If that is ok then there may be a bad wire connection coming from it.

Glad to hear you figured it out. I did the same thing in the middle of the winter and had to drive around without interior lights/key fob in the snow for about a month.
