Recently I purchased a 94 Accord EX for a great price, but as always some work was needed. Least to say somehow the previous owner toasted the main dash harness. Still ran fine, but the lighting was all screwy. (apparently he had no concept of how to properly add an accesory) Anywho, now a week later, ive replaced the whole harness, as many relays and switches as I could grasp and the now the car runs fine, and all the lighting works. But the problem i am having is with the radio in conjunction with the parking lights/headlights. Its a new pioneer that worked perfectly fine in my other car(def not the radio) and works fine in the accord UNTIL i turn the lights on, then........no sound. radio keeps running does not shut off but the sound dissapears. Strange............

Any ideas where to look?

Here's what my tech sheets say:

Radio 12v white/yellow +
Radio Ground black -
Radio Ignition white/red +
Radio Illumination red/black +
Power Antenna yellow/white +
LF Speaker +/- blue/green , gray/black +,-
RF Speaker +/- red/green , brown/black +,-
LR Speaker +/- blue/yellow , gray/white +,-
RR Speaker +/- red/yellow , brown/white +,-

Test all these with a multimeter, never trust the tech sheet.
You can get a new factory harness from Best Buy, Circuit City or car audio store.
You can also get them to install it, its a pain. Wires needs to be soldered, not twisted and taped up.

 

That is extremely wierd. Good Luck!

 

if you have the illumination wire connected, then undo it and see what happens. i normally don't connect that wire.

 

Yeah I would try removing illumination - it's useless anyways
