Subject: Electrical Problems w/ Pioneer head
IP: Logged

Message:
I was installing a Pioneer head unit on my 1993 Dakota Sport and using a Scoshe wiring harness. I forgot to disconnect the negative battery terminal when installing it. i installed everything and tested it out, but to my dismay i found that not only did my head unit not work but that i had also lost my dome light and the ignition light as well. I was wondering if anybody had run into this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

I forgot to mention that i even hooked the factory stereo back up with the original wiring harness and got no response on the factory radio as well.

I have checked all the fuses in the cab and still no luck. I still haven't checked the fuse in slot F2 in my Power Distrobution Center located in the engine compartment, the manual says that it only controls the Interior lights.

Wouldn't that control your dome light then, which mysteriously just went out? Something to think about... :)

It seemed to me that a 5 amp fuse would be to small to have the Interior Lights and the radio on it but it must be a link in a bigger chain. Thanks anyway!

I must agree with Walterone, people don't need to be ridiculed when looking for help. Show a little patience man.
