Been Having Power Problems With 97 Acura 3.0cl The Yellow Wire That Gets Connected To Ur Radio Hasnt Had 12 Volts On It For A While Thats To Keep The Memory Up To Date On The Unit So I Decided To Tap Off Of The Clock Because The Clock Is Always Running Once I Took The Wre From The Clock It Stopped Working And Now The Clock Is Real Dimm And Tv Has Whistling Sound Had To Find Another 12v Source To Use Cause Couldnt Use Clock Could Somebody Please Help Me Or Give Me Advice On What To Do Cuz Im Really Starting To Get Frustrated. Thanks In Advance

 

Jumping off the clock's constant 12v (assuming this is the one you used) should work since that and the radio constant are on the same circuitry.

If you want to just be done and over with: Put the clock wiring back to stock. It's probably finding a ground prematurely. For your radio, just run a wire directly from the battery to your radio and put an in-line fuse for safety. Done, little room for error.

 

is the radio and clock connected with the dash lights tail lights and other equipment or is that another section and if so which circuit should i look at to find out why dash lights not working when i go to turn on headlights and parking lights and taillights not working either. the only time the lights work is when i unlock door and lock door instrument lights work and so do taillights and parking lights any suggestions as to what could be the cause and what i could do to fix thiws problem cause i really need to get my car on the road not having light work is causinng me not to be able to drive at night and its starting to become a nightmare for me thanks in advance to anybody who helps me out with this problem

 

1. Please use some punctuation man. Not to be a dick, but it hurts peoples eyes just looking at your post.

2. The other thread you opened is the same info as your post above, so it's deleted. Next time, if you have an active thread, post in that one.

Thanks

Part of the clock's circuitry is on the combination switch, which controls the parking lights, dash board, basically anything that turns on or dim when your turn your parking lights on. Did the parking lights always have this issue before you tapped into the clock's wiring?

 

no it never had this problem b4 it worked just fine n shit where is that combination switch located n do u think it could possibly be that thanks for helping me out

 

Check the fuse. It's a 15A fuse located in the under-hood fuse box. If the fuse is not blown either the combination switch or dimmer relay is the problem. The combination switch is the switch you use to turn on your parking lights. The dimmer relay is located under the hood in the fuse box.

I just don't understand why the lights turn on when you unlock then re-lock the doors. Do they briefly come on or stay on until you turn off your lights?

 

its was a fuse but y dont my parkin n taillights flash when i lock the door i would like to see the lights flash when i lock and unlock the doors i mean its not a major problem but it would be nice thanks a million

 

Do you have the factory alarm? Does it work? You can test it by arming the car and opening the trunk with trunk release inside of the car next to the gas tank door release lever. The alarm should siren and the parking and tail lights should flash.
