my head unit was stolen a while back and this weekend i decided to put the factory radio back in. of course the thieves cut my wires, so i replaced the stock wiring harnes between head unit and factory amp.
fuse #34 is for the courtesy lights and electric mirrors, also has something to do with key FOB operating. anyway, fuse #34 blows when i plug in the head unit. as long as i dont have the head unit plugged in, everything is fine, everything works, drives fine. as soon as i plug it in, fuse 34 blows and then the radio's constant 12+ volts (orange/black wire) has no juice. i've tried disconnecting battery before replacing fuse and plugging everything in, but as soon as i connect batt, it blows.
i dont have another radio to plug in, so i don't know for sure the factory radio is any good. can those go bad and cause that circuit to blow?
i really dont want to go buy another radio just to find out the problem is somewhere else. i've checked all the wires and connections i can find in that system and i can't find any shorts. and like i said, as long as the radio head unit is not plugged in- the circuit is fine.
