    Ok theres so many oranges im getting very confused on what one goes where SOS =)

  • Shaun Eddy
    Shaun Eddy May 02, 2011

    Okay, now i realize that there two oranges on the list. Look and see how many are in the car. Hopefully two! :D If you have an Ohmmeter (continuity tester), or can borrow one, put one lead of the tester on the blue wire ant tap out the oranges one at a time to find a pair. When the tester beeps or lights up, depending on the type of tester, you have found a pair. By process of elimination, the other orange, goes with the green wire to your right front speaker. If you can't get an ohmmeter, try hooking up everything else, so that you get power to the radio, saving the orange wires for last. Go ahead and hook up your blue and green also. Then take one of the orange wires from the radio and tap it to the the two oranges in the car, until you get sound out of the correct speaker. By the way just in case you have never used and ohmmeter before, the continuity setting is often shown as the Greek "Omega" symbol.

    Ok new problem I have no dash lights and there is now a clicking when I turn my lights on is there anything I can do?

  • Shaun Eddy
    Shaun Eddy May 03, 2011

    Check to make sure you didn't connect a power wire to the radio illumination wire. Also check the fuse for your dash lights. The radio illumination runs off the same circuit, and it's possible to arc those wires when installing the radio. Where is the clicking sound coming from? Is it an electrical clicking, like sparking or a mechanical clicking like a switch or relay? By the way, how did the orange speaker wires turn out?

  • Anonymous May 03, 2011

    At the moment I'm afraid to try the radio again and the its just like a click no sparks its coming from where the fuse box is somewhere =(

  • Shaun Eddy
    Shaun Eddy May 03, 2011

    did the wires on the radio precisely match the wires in your car? I know you mentioned the radio you have came out of an accent. Does the clicking happen when you turn on your headlights or just your dash and running lights? A click when you turn on your headlights is normal. It's a relay in your fuse-box closing, unless the click is new or is louder than normal. Just check your dash light fuse and tryout your lights with the radio off. In fact, pull out the radio fuse to take it out of the equation. If you get your dash lights back, pop the radio fuse back in and turn it on. Hopefully everything will be okay, but if not, we know there's definitely a pproblem with the radio.

    so a bright side of everything I now have dash lights =) I went in and replaced all the fuses again (my husband try'd to fix it yesterday) I'm going to try the radio again I think I had the wires right but the fuse wasn't working...

  • Shaun Eddy
    Shaun Eddy May 04, 2011

    Like I said, it's very easy to arc those wires to ground and fry the fuse. Heck, I do it all the time! =D If I helped you in any way, please feel free to hit the thumbs-up button. I won't hold it against you. =) If you need any mor help, I will be glad to assist you.

2002 dodge transmission stuck in limp mode

Well you either have a shorted component or a shorted wiring harness. Buy a factory wiring diagram booklet and follow the circuit, start disconnecting components in the system until the short goes away. If everything that the fuse powers is disconnected and the fuse still blows then you have a shorted wiring harness, look for areas where there is allot of movement or heat from the engine exhaust. You can try this site for a wiring diagram, it may have one. http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html

Check your fuses! You may have two fuse boxes, one under the hood, one in the cabin, possible in the door jamb on the side of the dash, or under the dash.

If your car is an ex police cruiser that is an important thing to let us know, I outfit cruisers for a long time, and I know from experience, when these guys remove the lighting and other equip. They just cut harnesses and wrap the end in electrical tape, which doesn't last long in most conitions.

New Sony radio stops working after one year

By "hard style" you mean that you ran a direct hot wire to radio (from battery or other known good power source)? if that does not work, did you ground radio case? If it does not work that way, either there is a problem where the radio's harness enters the unit, or there is a loose connection inside it!

Blinkers suddenly went out on the Van

well, it could be a short, but it is more likely to be that the relay went again, or that the fuse went. try those first. and depending on the quality of the relay, it may go more often than every 4-5 months. if there is a short, when you replace the fuse it will immediately blow again. also, you might try replacing the bulbs.
