clock help for civic eg

[RIVAL]

hello i have a civic Eg 94 gli. while i was connecting the headunit i might have blown the clock fuse because it wont turn on when the car is on unless you actually hold down the clock button then it comes on. im not to sure what i did to it if i blew a fuse or shorted it plz help:o

[destrukshn]

but your head unit still works?

[RIVAL]

na i didnt finish puting it in. but i can try the old radio 1 quickly

[destrukshn]

you'd probably find you may have blown a fuse, or ****ed up the constant wire that goes to your head unit, you probably earthed it out.
beucase that is linked to your clock.
if that is the case, just run a new wire for your ignition harness.

[RIVAL]

which wire is that im a bit of a noob. all i know is how to put the HU in and thats it

[RIVAL]

and the old cassette player still works i just tried it

[destrukshn]

the wire that comes from the battery.
you may have shorted the clock maybe?
ums.. i think.. don't qoute me on it.. but i think, if it's not hooked up correctly, clock may not work as well?

[RIVAL]

omg thats sucks how long will that take to do if i give it to a pro

[destrukshn]

in a eg?
20-30 mins to wire it up solder, heat shrink/tape it.

[jdm_kid]

just change ur fuses lol
u said the clock works when u hold it down ? =Z that mean its still working ?

[RIVAL]

including put the cd player in cos i just dont feel like ****ing anything up anymore

[RIVAL]

which fuse it cuz it doesnt say on the plastic which one clock is

[destrukshn]

if you don't know the wires, how do you connect it?

[destrukshn]

clock is audio.
so if audio is working, so should your clock.

[jdm_kid]

10A - Instrumental Lights, just check the radio, etc fuses aswell since ur down there lol

well my headunit is permanently on ATT

and wen i turn on my parkers it turns off ATT and the music all of a sudden starts blasting !!!!

turn parkers off, low sound...

[CRXer]

Is the radio remembering the presets?

Youve prob blown the fuse in the engine bay fuse box(permanent power to clock & radio.

Think its like a 7.5A fuse in EG.

Also gives permanent supply to ECU,so I hope u havent put a surge thru the ECU............

???????


Suggest your own thread first.

But your H/U prob has a phone mute input & youve hooked up this wire to pick up the dim function instead of the correct wire.

[destrukshn]

yeah but i've had that customers do that before, earth the constant to on a ground, focked it up, so i just ran a new wire from the ignition harness.
then everythign worked fine again.

ash_
you've probably hooked up the light wire to your att wire.

yeah i was looking at that wire i think its called tel muting

[RIVAL]

check the fuses in the fuse box there all good

[destrukshn]

hms... how did you wire it up?
just guess which wire is which or?

[jdm_kid]

check the fuses in the fuse box there all good

Just FYI, some fuses may "look" fine, but dont tend to work.
I had a few of them before ... my amp died .. checked the fuse, it looked ok, but when we changed it to a new one, the amp started working back to normal.

[RIVAL]

ok ill buy some lata

[destrukshn]

but your amp fuse is different, you can't see the ends, where it may be blown
but on the blade type fuses and you can esily see if it's blown or not.
or anohter easy way is, use a test light.

[Boban]

WRONG :p i did the same thing boys and girls

What you did was cut off the old headunit plug??? right, so you can solder the new wires to them (well that's what i did) but the clock wire is connected to that plug as well for some reason. Trace the wires from the clock and see which one is loose (cut off) and connect it to your accessory wire.

You haven't blown any fuses mate so no point checking anything there as you said the clock works just doesn't light up unless you press it down.

Hope this helps, all i can say is been there done that :p
Let us know how you go

[jdm_kid]

Jt is teh ghey http://forum.pulsar.org.au/images/smilies/gay.gif

[RIVAL]

LOL thnx. i didnt cut of my orginal i got an adaptor from supercheap auto so i wouldnt have to touch any orginal wires.

[destrukshn]

ah... does the cd player work? using that adapter?

[RIVAL]

na havent had any luck yet. i think thats y the cd player aint working. lol u know what i think ill just go down to the local auto electrician to solve this crap i cant be stuffed with wiring. i think ill just stick to non electrical DIY

[destrukshn]

quite easy dude..
now, you know how to use a test light?

[RIVAL]

lol yep i know how to

[Boban]

man cd's are so easy to do, don't pay money for that, (they charge 90 bux here in brisbane :() Anyways the clock wire is the WHITE one with BLUE stripe, connect that to acc and all good, well for the clock that is
If you need help doing the cd player let me know and i'll do a little writeup and send it to u mate

[RIVAL]

thnx boban u have been a good help. i mite just try it before i take it to the electrician

[RIVAL]

one last question which colour is accessories

[Boban]

Sorry boys and rigls i made a bit of a d000 d000 yesterday, the clock should go onto the CONSTANT wire not the ACCESSORY one (yellow one not the red onem my bad :confused: )

Anyhow, just for your reading pleasure i have pulled appart my headunit this morning so i can see which wires go where, therefore making it easier for RIVAL should he choose to attempt to install the cd player himself. I have a 94 VTi civic as well so the wires should be, well identical to RIVAL's one. My headunit of choice JVC KD-DV5105 (it plays dvd's too....mmmm porn....i mean movies, just movies)

Anyhow:
JVC - What they are - HONDA

Black - Ground - Black
Red - Accessory - Orange with Red stripe
Yellow - Constant - White with Blue stripe
Orange - Illumination/dimmer -Red with Black Stripe
Blue - Antenna - Don’t have pwr ant
Blue with stripe - Amplifier - Don’t have amp as standard
Green - DVD handbrake/ground wire - Don’t have DVD
Brown - Tel. Muting - Don’t have phone in there


SPEAKERS

JVC -> Honda
Right Front Speaker
Grey -> Blue w/ silver patches
Grey w/black stripe -> Grey w/ black stripe

Left Front Speaker
White -> Red w/ green stripe
White w/black stripe -> Brown w/ black stripe

Right Rear Speaker
Purple -> Red w/ yellow stripe
Purple w/black stripe -> Brown w/ white stripe

Left Rear Speaker
Green -> Blue w/ yellow stripe
Green w/black stripe -> Grey w/ white stripe


Most aftermarket headunits use the same coloured wires on their headunits so the colours should be pretty similar, if you tell me what headunit you've got i can search the installation guide for it on the net and tell you if they are same or not, only difference i've come across is that on some the YELLOW (constant) wire is PINK and not all have 2 remote wires like JVC (blue and blue with stripe), some have only one and not all have illumination and tel. muting (orange and brown wires) but they're not all that important.

Like always mate, if you need any more info just ask

[RIVAL]

i have a jvc too. the one with the aux hole for ipod and shyt. its all good now got it in and working thnx for ya help boban with the deck but i figured out the clock the fuse in the engine part was blown just replaced it :)

[CRXer]

Is the radio remembering the presets?

Youve prob blown the fuse in the engine bay fuse box(permanent power to clock & radio.

Think its like a 7.5A fuse in EG.

Also gives permanent supply to ECU,so I hope u havent put a surge thru the ECU............

Couldnt possibly be that fuse........

Boban quite clearly said it wasnt a fuse problem!

U must be mistaken,check & see if it is really workin,u might be seeing things

[RIVAL]

im serious it was a fuse not the fuse box near ur feet the one in the engine

[CRXer]

I'm not doubting u dude

Boban said i was wrong,so i think it stands that u would be wrong as well..........

[[[d a n n y]]]

maybe u need a new clock
i got 2 here :D

[Boban]

CRXer, sorry d00d i didn't mean to say you are wrong about everything. maybe he did blow the fuse after all, i just said what happened to me, maybe RIVAL did do something else.

Anyhow good to hear you got everything working mate, and go JVC. The plug off of them fits Sony, Sanyo, Pioneer and a bunch of other CD players so if you ever decide to change it it's gonna be a piece of cake, pull one out and plug the new one in :p

[CRXer]

You haven't blown any fuses mate so no point checking anything there as you said the clock works just doesn't light up unless you press it down.

Hope this helps, all i can say is been there done that :p


Experience: Name men give to their mistakes :wave:

Dont worry Boban,just having a dig,u left yourself wide open for this one.
