Hi guys,

After a stereo installation on my R33, my constant wire seems to be dead. It had also caused my clock to stop working. At first the clock was just resetting back to 1:00 but now it doesn't show at all.

Any idea if this is a fuse?

Can anyone recommend a decent auto electrician or car stereo installation place in inner Melbourne / Prahran area to fix this issue and install the stereo?

Regards,

David.

sounds like you grounded that constant wire and shorted a fuse... its pretty easy to fix, open up the fuse box and look for one that has broken...

it also sounds like you stole the constant wire from the clock... you should make your own from the battery...

tee hee, your welcome :(

i have asimilar problem except i couldn't get my stereo to work ... the clock is not working and i have checked the fuses and none are blown and clock still not working any ideas guys i want my clock and stereo lol

did you check your power wires? im a little drunk, so im not sure about anything, but check your power wires... run some wire straight from the battery to the 12V line on your headunit... if that works, then your power wires are Effed in the A somehow... run new ones...

you have to try both 12V and Acc, the headunit wont turn on without the Acc one attached... so if you chuck a 12V constant on that, and it works, it means your Acc is f**ked somewhere along the line...

either wire or fuse... run a new wire from the fuse to the head unit, if that works, that side of the power works... if that doesnt work, the 12V line to the Acc fuse is f**ked...

trial and error is fun :(

be careful :rolleyes:

also, more info helps sometimes :)

also, i hope that made sense, cause im not proof reading it...

its possible... but i think everything in that cluster uses the same fuse/power lines... your better off getting a long cable and going straight from the battery...

but try it, ive never had that exact problem, so give it a go...

man im getting jipped :rofl: my fuses are in the engine bay...

but yeah, theres 2 lots of fuses... when we say 'check fuses' we mean both lots... one is above your right shin when you drive, the other is either in your engine bay on the left (from drivers seat) or in the boot?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
