Clock/Radio Dash Issues

I had a strange thing happen to me today and I can't figure the cause of it.

I was attempting to reposition my speaker and proceeded to pull off the door panel. Everything was then reassembled but in starting the ignition, my headunit does not power and the clock only reads out half way, fading from left to right. The rest of my electrical system is fine; i.e. windows, lights, etc.

My best guess would be a loose connection have no clue where to begin to look. If someone could shed some light on this, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

ilike2cheez,

I was hoping someone had this problem before and hats off to you for the help. Just went out and got me a couple 7.5 amp fuses and its all good. I cannot thank you enough.... driving without my stereo is just plain boring. Thanks for helping a fellow CL'er out.

Uhhh... I forgot how I came by this name it had something to do with my love for mushrooms. The ones used in food dishes are good, but the magic ones are even better.

mushi,

This was the answer I was going to give you in my PM, but I thought it wasn't something that simple.

Like I wrote, I don't know much about the electrical system.

Did you get your alarm to "beep"?

Pop the switch out and take a look. Something may have wiggled its way loose or the its just bad and you need a replacement. Look for a good junkyard, acura will probably charge you $20 along with of other parts u don't need.
