****late add on***** and there should be to blue ones....one with a white stripe one without....one is meant for a power antenna which we dont have the other is one is called a source which you use to connect to your amp so your amp knows when to turn on and off...can remember which...but the instructions that came with the harness will tell...if you plan on adding an amp later you can take the same guage wire and make the amp turn on wire (source) longer now...so later you dont have to pull you head unit

don't hardwire your wires. go get a harness adapter for your car. its like $10 and best buy or circuit city and no headaches.

for future refrence. 1) don't hard wire radios. 2) if you must use t-taps. but your have to look in a hynes manual or something or maybe get the diagram from honda.

once you get the wires connected properly, then go under you hood and open you fuse box cover..you probaly (i'm 99% sure) blew the #2 fuse....its listed as fuse number 2 and controls the audio unit, dash lights, front parking lights, front side marker lights, heater control panel, license plate lights, rear side marker lights, tailights and its a 15amp fuse

my suggestions are to check and make sur eyou have no blown fuses and then connect your plug back and get the harness adapter.
