Munky_JDM Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Re-Check all the wiring And Fuses you probably misplaced a wire buy more cable splice and solder next time you should buy a plug-n-play harness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el1cuban Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 thanks man, where do i splice from. i opened the cluster from the dash and the entire 12v cable is melted. do i have to remove the dash, take the harness and splice from there?

Kastigir Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Should've picked up a 15 dollar wiring harness. Way to ruin your vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munky_JDM Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i had to hardwire it because whoever installed the previous radio spliced everything from the original harness. ... still..... :nono: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard to fix, just time consuming. Whoever owned my Talon before the guy I bought it from, cut all the wiring for the stereo. Geed thing it has an Alpine in it already.
