Somebody HELP...

Hey, I have a 1999 Acura TL, and I took out the stock dexk, and put in a new one. I got a wiring harness so I wouldn't have to cut the wires. I wired it all up, put the car back together and now when I turn on my head lights, none of the lights on the interior of the car work. The heater control lights, the speedometer, odometer, none of them work. I can't see anything at night either, my exterior headlights work, but thats about it. I took the deck out and put the stock one back in, and the lights still don't work. I checked all the fuses on the left side of the steering wheel, none of them are blown.. I dont know what to do.. Any help woul dbe greatly appreciated. I have one more question, on the back of the stock deck, is there supposed to be two or three things plugged into it, cause mine only has two. I couldn't find any thing else to connect to it....
Thanks,
Varan

check the fuses on the right side of the car. same place as the driver fuses. the passanger side has em as well. i think the third plug is supposed to be for a cd changer or something, dont quote me on that tho. with the harness, somewhere along the line you may have left a wire open and it shorted the fuse. recheck your wires

you must have done something to blow a fuse. like the others said, check the fuses.

Maybe when wiring the new one up you some how shorted a wire or THE wire that dims the gauge cluster and radio.
The gauges is where the dimming circuit is located, I think it's build in to the circuit board itself, maybe wrong though haven't looked yet.
I would look for pinched wires and look over your work again.
Good luck.
