Rep Power: 403

well i installed my friends radio in her 95 accord. she had a aftermarket radio and a tape player with a 12 disk in the trunk, she wanted a cd player in the cabin, so she decided to get her cousins old cd player. i hooked all the speakers up correctly. i got the constant 12 volt, ignition and grounds correct. now there i 1 problem, i still got the dash dimmer, and there is no where i can hook it up to. the dash lights are not lighting up at night and i know its this wire, but what do i do, do i ground it. i think the wire that is suppost to go on the stereo is missing on the harness.

what are my options, do i ground it... or can i splice it to something else, so it turns on the dash lights...?

What type of head unit is it? Some head units (cheaper pioneers along with others) don't have an illumination wire. No you don't ground it.. You probably blew the fuse for the dash lights because the wire was already grounded. Replace the fuse, and run a wire from the dash lights to the wire. Or just tape it off and dont use the illumination wire.
