hello i am installing a stereo in my 96civic i fallowed the installdr.com how too keep the locks working with the remote , but i am not sure about my dome light too. i have read two things one that i can twist two wires together and another where i need a jumper ? not sure which is true so i figured i would ask and yes i searched and Google too if anyone can point me to a link to a good how to or pic of what i need to make that would be great thanks
oh one more thing i got everything hooked up fallowed the how to and my locks still dont work ... what did i do wrong ? i wired everything up like i should the only thing i can think of is there are two green plugs not sure. one fits into the stock unit but there was another one taped up .. could this be the problem? i plugged that one in but my locks still dont work .. Help

green plug. jumper lt. green w/ red to lt. green w/ black.

 

ah ok i guess i am not getting what you mean by jumper ? i wire with a fuse ? what amp ?

 

Jumper = Short piece of wire.

No where did he say you needed a fuse.

 

How did you keep the door locks working? is the stock HU mounted behind the dash console? and the green plug still plugged into it?
If so, you need do nothing, the dome light will work. 94

 

ah yes it is. i found this out last night it didnt work at 1st but it seems to be working great now

Nice avatar.

Electricity doesn't care if you twist the wires together or you shove a paperclip between the two pins. But for the sake of reliability I suggest cutting the two wires and twisting them together, soldering them, and insulating them with electric tape or heat shrink.

 

no rice "inside"...

so that means there "could" be rice on the outside...

OR ON HIS CLOTHES!!!!!!



u should really read that stickied thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1794938

it shows some basics of soldering, tapping, and making good connections.

If you don't have a soldering iron, one from radio shack would do fine.. just need to hold it on the wire longer and let the solder seep into the wires... and some 3M Tartan tape will do great as insulation... the 3M tape is really easy to work with, and doesn't leave too much of a sticky residue.

 

no rice any where not on my clothes, not on my shoes, i do not like rice
i read the stickied thread thank man not new to honda's just this one
i figured out everything that i need too, as i said before ,everything is working great now thanks all
