lost climate control after head unit replacement

hi guys,

i have a 2003 acura tl-s with navi and i just replaced the head unit with a pioneer 9800BT. i knew from the start i would loose the sound from the navi and the onstar. both of which i do not use.

the problem is that i lost control for the AC/ Heat

i know they are plugged in unless there was another harness back there that fits and i plugged in the wrong one. is that even possible? or could the plugs be switched?

any advice would be great before i attempt to take er out again

thanks

- Mark

Open her back up and start troubleshooting.. That's all I can tell ya.. Post up your findings when you have it opened..

But yes you could've forgot a plug or not plugged it in the whole way etc..

Not that I've ever done it before or anything..

I recently was fiddling with my stereo in my '97.. the next day my A/C was acting up. After looking around inside, i found it was one of the wiring harnesses not fully snapped back in

oops..... he he i forgot to plug them in completely - man i have to say this is the easiest car to open up. i love the clip on carpet concept. i ran 3 rca cables in about 30 minutes and everything was snap on and off except the back seat
