Ok...so today I put in an aftermarket Pioneer CD player. This isn't my first rodeo and I've put in between 10 to 15 different cd players. I put that in and it worked. Everything works fine with the cd player. I also ran my RCA cables and blue wire down the passenger side of my truck because I'm going to put my system in. I ran those obviously behind the cd player, behind the glove box and down into the passenger side kicker place where the fuses are. I ran them down past that and out the bottom and screwed them down below the passenger side base plate. When I completed all of this work I cranked her up and the CD player works fine again and I also have those wires ran to make it easier. I then noticed that NONE of my gauge cluster aside from the center lights including the seat belt, e brake, etc going off. It worked fine last night and I'm assuming i've possibly popped a fuse or something possible like that. I was hoping someone could help me out and give me an idea to as what I have done to mess up my gauge cluster lights. I have a 2004 Ford Edge 3.0


I already posted this in electrical part but wasn't getting the turn out I
Wanted.


I have since checked the fuse and found a 5 amp fuse on the first row was blown. I took one out of another spot that was also 5 amp and placed it in there just to see if it was a blown fuse was the problem. I cranked it up and still nothing. I went to check the fuse to see if it was still intact and it also blew. So i've blown two 5 amp fuses in the same spot on the first row. The lights on my gauge cluster and my HVAC etc are not working. What could make this fuse blow repeatedly?

okay so now uve discoverd the problem, uve got an overload somewhere and idk how to fix that but u do lol


typically threads are read based on new posts. my reocmmendation is to bump ur thread instead of making two threads

could be an over load or a short in your wiring.

I think when I ran the wires I might have caused a short...I'm gonna have to investigate a little more tomorrow!!! makes me sad =(

So...come to find out for whatever reason...its my Pioneer CD player causing the fuse to pop. I removed it and unplugged it and put the fuse in and the gauge and HVAC lit up like a Christmas tree. So I'm not sure exactly what the problem is now lol. Least I figured that one out.

You should leave electronics installations to professionals.

You gonna pay the $150 for me to take it to a "professional" I was asking for troubleshooting tips not smart remarks.

check the wiring harness to make sure all the wires match up to the corresponding functional wire on the truck side to make sure you don't have a wire going to the wrong place could cause it to blow a fuse
