I am installing doms unit and the pnp

everything else is good but I am having a hard time crimp/grounding the wires?

I crimped it fine (at least i think so)

I loosen the bolt to to slide in the "U" crimps but its not tight, its loose...any idea what im doing wrong? TIA

 

yeh so a piece of rubber was stuck behind it so the bolt wasnt being tightened all the way


bigger problem
installed DOM's unit and pnp

but something is majorly wrong...
the pnp isnt working, when i start the car, the Acura start up screen is extremely blurry and faded and is scrolling upwards...

I cant see anything, it is just faded to hell! what am i doing wrong?

 

^^^bumpy bump for help please!!

 

Is Dom's unit getting power? I saw a similar screen when I disconnected the power to Dom's.

Double check your connections and make sure everything is secure. Good luck!

 

Kevin,

If I'm not mistaken, the ground wires to dom's unit is about 20 gauge. Make sure that the ground connector you are using isn't too big or else the wires will not ground properly. Use a connector of about 18 gauge to make sure you get a snug ground. Also, use the factory ground location if you have not already done so (look at datmrman's or my DIY for this bolt location in the trunk). And like datmrman said, check to see that your power is good...where did you tap your power to? I spoke with you before and you used those wire taps...that could also be the source of the problem. You may want to invest in a cheap 12v tester light that you can buy at any auto parts store...that way you can see if you are getting good power to your unit.

One last thing to check is that your PNP harnessess are snapped all the way in. You can call DOM himself and he can help you troubleshoot if those suggestions above don't work. It could also be possible that the harness is bad (not likely, but I've heard of them being replaced by other azine members...dom is cool about that sort of thing).

See if that works for you..and chime in if you have any other questions...
