hello! i just installed a new stereo in my ek few weeks ago and i noticed that my vent keeps opening everytime i restart my car.. what must be the problem? please advice. thank you!

 

Vent? How is that related to your stereo?

 

i dunno i just noticed it after i installed my stereo.. maybe when we wired my stereo or something.. seems like it doesn't remember my old settings.. for example before i turn off my car i closed the vent. when i start my car the vent opens by itself..

 

What car? A little more vital info would be nice if you don't want your thread locked.

 

2000 civic si..

 

What wires did you splice into for the stereo install?

 

um.. just the one that goes to the radio.. but i used the spare power wire by my fuse box below my steering wheel.. would that be the reason?

 

I have no idea what you're talking about. Did you hack the wiring or did you use a proper adapter harness to install the new deck?


With these you don't splice into anything.

 

its posessed by demons

 

oh.. i used the proper harness for my radio..

 

Which is it? You used a harness or you spliced into "the spare power wire by my fuse box below my steering wheel"? If you used a harness you wouldn't be having this issue IF the problem is actually related to your deck install.

 

i was having problems with the stock power wire (the wire the is included with all the wires behind the radio area) so what i did is i used the spare power outlet (sorry i dont know what exactly they call it) by the fuse box below my steering wheel to power up my radio.

 

What problem?

This is going to be like pulling teeth.

 

no power. when i used my tester it doesnt read 12v. sorry sir im realy bad with wirings.. but thank you for your patience..

 

What is a "spare power wire"? I am still trying to understand what that means.

 

um.. theres a plug by the fuse box below my steering wheel that you can get power. so what i did is i used that to power up my radio.

 

This has got to be coincidental. I don't own a 2000 but I don't see how these two systems are interconnected. Possibly you should just concentrate on the climate control system.

 

ok. but i didnt do anything on that one. its just disconnected it when i installed the radio. thats why im thinking coz i rewired my power wire maybe it was affected or something. btw, i also tried a different climate control system and still it didnt stay on the setting before i turned my car off.

 

is it switched 12v location... I think hes saying he used a spare location in the fuse block... DId the 2000 civics have motorized vents?

 

I'm wanting to say digital/electronic. Not mechanical like the 96-98s. Don't quote me.

 

yes i switched the location to the one by the fuse block. i think its motorized.

 

or yah electronic...

 

Thats weird they didnt keep using them in the 01 civics... possibly a short you moved and made contact with something else while moving wires around. possibly theres a reason they didnt keep using them after 2000... can you pull the fuse for it and see if they stay in there spot.

 

i will try that.. thanks guys! will keep you updated.
