Hey guys! just joined this forum. I'm Dean, and eager for some help! This place looked like a friendly and helpful forum. I'm working on installing a Pioneer DEH-11e onto my 2005 Ford Van e350 V10. Here's my story: I removed the old radio, and got a new dash insert which worked great. Then I got a harness adapter at best buy, and i was told it would work great, i was even assisted by the guys there. They had to slightly bend a couple pins on the adapter and then it slid right into the factory plug. Then i spliced and wired the speaker wires to my head unit, and joined the ground cables together and grounded them. Everything seemed OK. Put the key in, and turned: no interior lights, no instrument lights, radio, or power windows. A/C, wipers, and headlights work find. Did a whole bunch of fuses blow all at once? What's up? Thanks!
hey..i too am a noob lol... in my noob opinion, you might have ungrounded something... like if there was a wierd wire that just seemed to be attached to a metal surface and you forgot to re-attach it or knocked it loose...just my 2 cents im sure youll get other more educated responces
It's possible you blew a fuse. Several circuits are tied to one fuse. Do your taillights work? It used to be that the taillights were tied to the same circuit as the dash lights.
