power door lock/alarm problem
power door lock/alarm problem
i have the optional honda alarm. Its been working for 4 years no problems.
Apex'i turbo timer
Guage faces
AEM Wideband
SPW boost guage
Alpine headunit
Emanage w/boost,ignition,injector,subinjector harnesses.
Tonight i swapped over my alpine cda 7892 to a Sony in-dash screen (dont know the # off hand).
I soldered all the necessary connections without any problem.
Since then, i cannot lock the doors with my power locks UNLESS the key is at 'ON' (not accessory, not off). And the alarm will not lock the doors. And the dome light does not turn on when the doors are open.
I can unlock the doors with the alarm armed and open the doors without the alarm going off.
I have checked every single fuse in the car. I am thinking it may be a relay but i have no clue which one (or if it even is a relay)
Can someone with experience please help out. I am no electrical amateur, nor am i a professional.

it's definately a fuse. i don't remember which one, but it should be located on the inside fuse box.

pulling fuses and looking at them isnt always the best way to determine if it's blown. you should be using a meter or test light across the two sides of the fuse to see if you have continuity.
i figured it out. Works like a charm now.
I now need to get a new inverter because its causing the video and audio to have moderate interference whenever its turned on. I have a cheap *** one i can replace it with for now, but i need to upgrade to another big one later.

thats not the problem, you need a noise filter on the rca's to whatever your output device is. I had a noise issue running my ps2 and i thought it was because i was using a crappy inverter. tried using a friends and it did the same thing. got a 99 cent rca noise filter and the problem went away.
