Stereo install gone wrong

Yesterday I installed a Pioneer DEH-2000mp receiver in my car the hard way, by splicing wires instead of using a wiring harness. Cause I'm dumb. After I got it all done, the front speakers worked, but not the rear. I told a friend and he told me to just go out a get a wiring harness. Awesome. I did. I installed that and it didn't work. I said forget and reinstalled it the way I had it. Now the stereo doesn't work, the locks don't work and all my gauges have a seizure for about 5-10 seconds every time I turn me car on. What the hell did I do?

Re: Stereo install gone wrong

you could have grounded out something, check your fuses. just my 2 pennies. good luck. Also you should be able to splice a radio in with out issues as long as you got every wire matched with its correct wire it just takes longer that way.

Check the fusebox under the hood look for fuse #9. It is a 10 amp fuse. When I blew it last weekend my door locks would unlock but not lock. My gauge cluster acted flaky, and my radio wouldn't power on.

tbaleno, you're awesome. Fuse #9 was blown. I replaced it and now everything works. Thanks a ton.
