Parkers not turning on anymore?

[Forbiddenoob]

I just change my headunit and out no where now when i switch my parkers on, my climate control, speedo, licence plate light and parkers not working anymore but my cd player and my roof light working also my low/high beam.

i've check the fuses and their all fine.
any idea ? :(

Is this on an EG ?

Did you check the fuses under your steering wheel ? Or only the one in the engine bay ?

You must've shorted a wire when installing your headunit and blew a fuse (or a couple).

Sorry its an EG

Checked both fuse box, Engine bay and Under the Dash.

Look like someone wired my headunit with the dash light. (These share power?)
And i think i might pull one of the wire hard and can that cause the problem?
but the cd player working?

Not sure im making muti posts cause i can't see my replys

"DO NOT wire the black wire from the headunit to anywhere else but a grounding point, this is the number 1 most common mistake made by ameture installers, and usually ends in the parkers, rear number plate lights, and dash lights failing due to incorrectly wired headunit."

I'm assuming you used the OEM ground wire when installing your headunit ?

The OEM headunit shares it as it dims when parkers are turned on.

I've no idea what they done to the headunit wiring.
but is possible that i pull the ground wire and the light isnt working anymore?

What you can do is take out your headunit and see where the ground wire is going from your headunit's loom.

If it's going straight onto a metal object, then look for the black wire on the OEM harness.

If the black ground wire on the OEM harnes is just hanging, ground it somewhere and re-check all fuses again and see how that goes.

While you're at it, check your illumination (dash light dimmer wire). It will be an orange wire from the headunits loom, make sure it's not connected to anything.

Yeah that what i was thinking too!
tomorrow morning i probably re wire the headunit ground to something metal and replace the fuses and see what happen.
