new deck not working still?
so i got a 00 civic and my deck stopped working that had only been in there for a few months so i pulled it out and what happened was the yellow 12v power wire had come untwisted so i wrapped it bak up and tested the radio and everything worked, so i decided to solder the wire but forgot to unplug the battery and as soon as i touched the wire with the soldering iron, it sparked.... so i chcked the fuse and sure enough it was popped so i put a new one in and the radio still wouldnt turn back on. so i thought i blew a capacitor in deck or something and bought a brand new deck and wired it all in and still no luck. i have an ohms meter and the yellow wire that says 12v on it is not getting any power when the key is on. is it possible i fried the actual wire or something like that? all fuses are replaced. if not, where should i take it to get looked at? a special mechanic shop or just anywhere?

Did you check to make sure the fuse you replaced it with is good? Are you getting 12v to the acc line when the key is on? If so, then you probably fried something in the radio itself (assuming everything is wired correctly).

Check the fuses in the bay with a multimeter.
How are you getting power to the yellow wire with the car off and not when it's on? It's 12v constant.

Yes. Check the fuses in the bay with a multimeter. You can look at the lid of the fusebox to see which ones might affect the interior.
You might have an under dash fuse that could affect the circuit as well, I'm not familiar with civics.

^If the one in the bay isn't fried, there may be on under the dash that's blown too. I blew that one on my 1999 civic and the one under the hood by touching wires.
