Hi my girlfriends brother has a 1999 honda accord. About a year ago he installed a new head unit himself and wired it himself using the diagram that crutchfield sent him. During this he said he blew the fuse for the brake lights, but they were fine after he replaced fuse. He recently asked me to take a look because i'm an electrician becuase he said ever since then his dash has a light by the odometer and and a small square that lights up to show what gear your in, and they work as long as the headlights and running lights are off. But when you turn the running lights or head lights on those lights go off and no dash lights are on at all, but other than that there are no other problems.
So far I checked all the fuses and rewired the stereo myself to make sure everything was ok. The only problem I noticed was that the dimmer t wire and illumination wire that used to go to the factory stereo are no longer used, so I called crutchfield to verify and they said those wires aren't used to tape them off individually.
Does anyone have any ideas what to check or do?
