1989 CIVIC car Deck Inst. HELP

[thush]

I need help from someone who knows about Car Deck installation...

I recently bought a JVC MP3 CD Car Deck (KD-G720) from bestbuy for my 1989 Honda civic (hatchback). Now, I'm trying to install it. I have all the wires connected but the problem im having is that when i take the faceplate out and put back in, the lights on the faceplate comes on then fades away within 3 or 4 seconds and then after I cant turn it on. Also when I press the 'dsp' (display) button then that also lights up the lights on the buttons and stuff and just fades way and i cant turn it on. The cd is going in and out w/out a problem. but it just that its not turning on and playing anything.

I followed : http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/HA-Wiring.pdf : to do the wiring. Does anybody know what am doing wrong ?????

Any help anyone??

Thanks in advance..


Regards,
Thush.

Go to your neighborhood Honda dealer and ask the parts/ service guys nicely for a generic stereo wiring diagram. Colors should pretty much match up for your civic, this is considering you had a factory installed radio and the wiring wasnt changed. I would scan in the print out i got from the dealer out of a FSM, but i lost it.

ok, now on to the question...
does it play music but doesnt have a display or lighting?
or does it not do anything at all?

how did you connect the wires? At the least you should use crimp connectors. Dont twist them and tape together, makes for a lousy connection.
