Can't use radio at night......'03 ex Headlights and radio won't work at same time...

[nicoyita1]

Just installed a Boss 7'' screen in my dash on my '03 EX......


Sounds great, just that my head lights and my radio can't be on at the same time. Before i pull everything apart again, what might be the problem? What cables did I forget to connect? I'm not a pro at installing sound/video systems and would appreciate any input.



Plz and Thank You.

I haven't wired up any electronics in awhile and haven't ever in a honda but my first guess is that if you have daytime running lights you might have wired your radio into them so when you turn on your lights your running lights shut off as well as your radio. but like i said i haven't ever wired anything in a honda

there not directly connected in the same harness but if you are having problems and you installed it yourself then the first thing i would assume is that you screwed up somewhere. just trying to give some insight, good luck

Maybe you crossed your dimmer and your 12v switched wires?
