Aftermarket double din install having problems with int. dash lights,locks

Hey hows it going FixYa. I have a 2001 Acura CL-S. I put a after-market double din in-dash navigation system in using the Metra dash kit and also the Metra by-pass. Every thing fit fine and no problems on the install. All of a sudden my interior dash lights stopped working, power locks are also not working.Memory seats lights dont work. I cant lock or unlock the car using my remote. Either open the truck. Ive looked every where on the internet and only found one guy with the same symptoms and he suggested replacing the fuses. Just seeing if you guys can help. Thanks

I had soved my problem... That was stupid.. The cause is that I tried to connect the (illumination +) and the (illumination -) wires togetter on the dimmer wire of my double din unit. That make a short cut and blow the litening fuse (fuse 13 on passenger side fuse panel). I replaced correctly the wiring, keeping the (illumination +) wire unused. That solve my problem but, however I get back my dash illumination, I can't adjust the lightning level... I thing I have a problem with the level switch.. It don't matter to me but if you get the same problem and solve it, please tell me your solution.

Regards

I installed a after market radio in my 2002 Acura MDX. After installing my cluster lights no longer work. I checked all fuses and relays. They are fine. What could this issue be?

There is a feed from your dash lights which is supposed to go to the aftermarket radio which will dim the unit when you turn your lights on. Its possible you have incorrectly wired this or not wired it at all.

After Market radio install on a 2001 Passat

Metra makes a preamp harness that you can use if you have the partial Bose system. My A4 had that (where the front speakers were run off of the headunit with speaker-level feed, but the deck put a line level signal to a rear amp to power the speakers). This harness would let you use the aftermarket deck with your factory speakers, if you have the partial Bose system. Best bet is to do a Google search for "Metra 2001 Passat" or something like that and I'm sure it'll show up.
