Black is ground, yellow is battery constant power for memory (clock, station memory, etc...) you burnt the fuse for that constant battery power. Just check for burnt fuses

The Key Fob needs to be syncronised to the car........Try this it works for many Mercs1....ensure the battery in the "Key Fob" is OK............Press either Lock or Unlock button for more than 1 second, the lamp on the fob will light if OK. Change battery if it does not illuminate!  2.....if battery on fob OK.......Re Syncronise the key fob to the car by:.... a brief press on either button twice and within 30 seconds turn Key to position 2 on the ignition lock 
Hope that fixes it...let me know?

SOURCE: Car alarm not activating central locking

It means that the remote is not passing the signal to the car . The alarm has triggered because the system has detected an illegal entry. Replace the remote batteries

I soldered all the connections on my stereo system and I keep blowing my 5amp fuses I have the yello wire from the head onto pos + on my then I have the black wire on neg .also my red wire is on neg.

check the wiring as the red wire may be a positive power in wire and if you have it on the negative terminal that would amount to a dead short and that would blow the fuse
consider changing the yellow from the + terminal and putting the red wire there and if it stops blowing fuses the put the yellow wire on to the - ve
if that means that the unit doesn't work then touch it back on the + terminal
if that works the solder it there

Free copies of a wiring harness for a 2002 ford focus se 4dr left side drivers door

Ok, so judging by what you wrote, there were 7 or so "burnt" looking or damaged wires in the connector behind the radio. These wires are usually color coded with all kinds of strange colors with either white or yellow lines running through some of them...I've looked around and can't find any diagrams yet...I'll keep looking ...In the meantime, go check the fuses to see if any are blown in the car. It's not usual that messing with the stereo would cause the locks not to work. let me know what you find.

Radio wiring code for 1987 mercedes benz 300. With aftermarket radio the windows switch ligths blinks and have no instrument ligths.

Hi, the aftermarket stereo does not use the illumination wire. You must tape that wire off (purple/gray). That wire is either connected to the wrong place or is touching chassis ground and causing your instrument lights to dim.
Connect the stereo's red wire to the car's black/yellow wire; and connect the stereo's yellow wire to the car's red/white wire.

Doorlocks dont work except from passenger side. mirrors dont work. windows dont work from anywhere

First, check all fuses to make sure that none are blown.

If the door lock switch works on the passenger side, then the drivers side door lock switch is probably faulty. Use a multi-meter to test the Drivers Side Door Lock Switch (Black and Pink/Light Green wires unlock the vehicle, and the Black and Pink/Yellow wires lock the vehicle)
If the switch is tested and found to be operating properly, you may have a faulty Body Security Module or Drivers Side Door Lock Actuator.

If neither of your Power Mirrors are working, you probably have a faulty Exterior Rear View Mirror Switch, Power Mirror Module, or blown Central Junction Box Fuse.

If none of your Power Windows are working, you probably have a faulty Accessory Delay Relay or a blown fuse in your Central Junction Box or a faulty Master Window Adjust Switch (all of the Power Window Switches feed through this Master Window Switch). If the Power Windows didn't stop working at the same time, you may have faulty Window Adjust Switches, or faulty Power Window Motors, this is very unlikely though. It would also be a good idea to inspect the wiring for any obvious damage.

2000 Ford Taurus - Installed a new radio and used the Meta 99-5716 install kit with wiring harness. After install, radio, pwr windows, pwr locks, dome light, windshield wipers, and speedomoter have stopped...

Sounds like you have blown fuses which could have happened if you accidently short circuted something while wiring up the new stereo. Check your fuses to see if any of them are blown.
