  • Weird Issues trying to wire in Radio

    So I bought a cheap headunit from walmart and this wiring harness

    But after wiring it up (Matched corresponding colors between the two harnesses like I have 10 times before) and nothing I'm not getting any power to the unit and now my door buzzer starts going when i turn the key. From reading some of the wiring posts I know that I need to ground the black wire from the HU harness as its connected to nothing as there wasn't a black wire on the harness but what is causing the open door horn to go off.

    Also my "cigar" fuse is blowing everytime i turn the key but is an exposed wire not connected to anything cause the PO cut off the cigerette lighter or something weird.

    Attaching a pic of the harness as my colors don't match up with the stickied thread.

    Fixed the fuse issue. When the cigarette lighter got cut out they twisted the wires together causing it to pop the fuse every time the car was turned on.
