Hi everone Im new here and I gotta problem on my hands that I don't wanna jump into on my own without the proper know how... I bought a 94 eg coupe and did a b18c1 swap on it, the kid befor me told me the radio just needed to be put in but guess what? the fuse terminal I think its #23 on my under dash box is missing a peice of metal that holds the actual fuse in place! how do I fix this? I can't deal with no music and just got done installing my new door speakers and tweets (no subs they weigh too much!) I really hope somebody can help!!!!!

 

You can run a cable from the battery. High power audio systems usually need this anyway because the factory wires can't handle the powah.

 

are you sure youre looking at the right terminals? I cant figure how anyone regardless of how clueless they are, would manage to get a metal clipp out from inside the fuse box without destroying it in the process. Unless he pulled the box out and disassembled it, but why?

Either way, the easy fix is to run a new wire with a fuse inline. The only other option is to remove fuse box and repair as necessary. Make sure you run the wire to a switched power source or the radio will always be on

 

Terminal has probably been pushed "into" fuse box, if retainer is not broken it is repairable, easier to just hit up the bone yard or eBay and replace it, fuse 23 is also your lighter.
Easy enough to just run your HUs power lead to one of the free pins on the under dash fuse box, there is a 12V+ constant free pin, not sure if a 94 Civic has a 12V+ acc. but it will have a 12V+ 2nd ign., it can be used as an acc.. 94

 

they do, I just cant remember which one it is. I ran my ooga horn from it years ago

 

Thanks for the help guys, I got it hooked up threw a switch now and all is well. thanks again!
