I bought my 92 Prelude with no stereo and when I went to plug in my stock oem honda stereo it wouldnt turn on. I know the stereo is good because i just pulled it from my other lude a couple of days ago. I also don't get light in the climate control. Anyone?

 

check fuses

 

aite so which fuses do i need to check or which one specifically am I looking at?

 

If you dont know pull all of them. Driverside panel. Most honda steros come with a crappy code. So dont be alarmed if the stero turns on but dont work

 

the radio fuse is under the hood.

 

Don't forget you might need the code to turn the raido on

The radio will turn on with out the code. You will know it has power. With out the code it wont play music, but it will light up.

 

Well I have taken off this particular stere off a couple of times and it does not throw any codes. It works fine in my other lude so I know its not the stereo. What size fuse would I need to replace it?

 

open your fuse box, look at the diagram on it. look for the radio fuse, see if it is there or if it is blown, and replace it if it is missing or blown. the diagrams usually even say what size fuse you need.

 

cool I will be checking shortly

 

ok if the stereo is not turning on then that means that someone has tried to enter the code if it is off and not turining on then you will need to leave your car on for 8 streight hours so it can reboot itself that happen to me and and the 8 hours did the job....good luck

 

I've never heard of this technique, where did you get this information?

He is right, if you enter the code on the stero wrong three times in a row, the stero will shut itself off and you have to try again 8 hours later.

 

I checked all the fuses and still nothing. The horn does not wok either so now im thinking its an electrical problem.

 

All the fuses under the kick panel on the driverside and the ones under the hood?

 

Yea I checked em all out...

 

bro im telling you..this happen to my prelude and i took it back to the honda dealer and they told me that i had entered the code wrong 3x and the told me to leave it running for 8 hours so it can reboot it self. and it did its not a joke...or just contact you nearest honda dealer and take it in..they might be able to help you

 

well the stereo doesnt even turn on. I doesnt light up or anything.

 

Contact your nearest dealer...or call honda just get the number from 411

 

I don't think this has been asked and is pretty obvious, but is the battery charged in the car?

 

battery is fully charged and the car runs

 

I'm blown away at what it could be. What all doesnt work in the car?

 

Rip the harness out of the car and plug it into the back of the radio. Carefully, tie the negative wire to negative terminal, and put the power and Acc wi

**** just take it to Honda and ask them to test it for you. There is afuse on the back of stero that may be blown. If no fues are blown and the stero is fine, its time to run new wires

 

yezzzrrrr take it to hunda
