1998 chevy s10 Head unit and dash display not working

I recently installed a sony explod head unit and 2 new speakers in my 1998 chevy s10. I had just finished wiring my 2nd speaker when my radio started turning on and off. and eventually would not turn back on. So i tore my dash apart (again) and re-wired everything. The radio does still not work and now the illumination lights on my dash dont work at night (speedometer and gauges) however turn signal display and blinker display does work. on a second note the day after working on my truck it would not start. help?

You may have damaged the instrument cluster. The PCM has to receive a code from the instrument panel to start. Its part of the security system. Beyond checking fuses you are going to have to take it to a qualified mechanic with the proper diagnostic equipment. It sounds like you wired something incorrectly

All the wires will be in the steering column, be sure that you got the correct switch, you may have the wrong one.

2007 Chrysler 300 dash speakers and front right speaker aren't working

there is an amp usually built into the factory head unit or mounted in the dash behind the head unit. I would try running a new wire straight from the back of the stereo to the speaker and see if it works. if it does then you have a broken wire and need to run new ones

The rear speakers in my 1998 chevy cavalier are not working. they arent blown, they just stopped working. this happened before and they started to work, but now they remain silent. i am unsure on where to...

Good chance that the radio power supply to those speakers have gone bad. There common for the GM Delco head unit, when the head unit get's hot. The solder get's weak and then you have what they call a cold solder, causing a bad current flow to the power supply to the rear speaker wire harness.
If you like to keep the stock head unit, you can remove it and have a electronic shop repair the head unit. Or you can go to the salvage yard and see if you can locate an other head unit for around $50.00, you should be fine with the year of your Cavalier, the 2001 and newer head unit was mated with the car's Vin number through the ECM to have it function.
Thank you for using fixy and good luck.

Hey have you recently changed your head unit. I have a 2000 s10 2.2 and i recently hardwired my pioneer 4000ub head unit and the security light came on upon not starting. every time you try to start the car while the security light is on it will add 10 minutes onto your time. For the security light not to come on you need to check your wiring. just remember dont keep trying becuase it wont work!!! find the problem and fix it.

Stereo Upgrade in 1997 Sentra

hi there. I am not sure about the speakers. But there is a wiring harness available for a aftermarket head unit. I have a '97 sentra the base model XE version. I have just put in an alpine head unit and you defenately hear the difference even on factory speakers. But you will need 2 kits to install an aftermarket head unit in the car. 1. A dash kit. I got mine from canadian tire for about 20 bucks, it comes with instructions on how to put it together and its straight forward, just make sure u get the one for your year and make of car.

2. The wiring harness. there available at mostly every car audio place for about 10 bucks. again make sure u get the one for your year make and model of car. installing this is difficult so unless your good at electronics get it professionally installed. you have to splice the wires into the back of the aftermarket unit, then the plugs plug right into your existing factory car harness.

hope this solves your problem, the dash kit is easy to put together and install into the car, but the wiring harness is a bit difficult, i had my harness installed for about 40 bucks and u save money if u put the dash kit togehter yourself because thats 1 less thing they have to do. good luck.
