Subject:      Electrical Help nEEDED - 90' Carat
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Well, there I go again thinking something should be easy.

I am putting a stereo back in the 90' I've figured out all that (with the
help of my 7yr old son. Needed him to tell color blind dad what color the
wires were). Anyhow, in the process I touched a hot wire to some metal by
accident (Sparks) and blew the number three fuse. Changed that everything
seems fine except I have no dash lights - none. Dome light works, radio
works, I think the Lighter works - no dash lights - any ideas? I'd like to
try to fix this before I close everything up.

Also, I have a red wire and a blue gray wire that were not connected to
anything coming towards the radio opening from the drivers side. Bentley
says blue grey is ground and the red is power - but for what? I have the
same color wires on the passenger side that weren't connected but go to the
cig lighter glow ring. Should these connect - they are the same color and
gauge. Also, the glove box light was disconnected - where should those go to
ground and power?

Any help with any of the above is greatly appreciated - leaving for Buses by
the Beach in a few hours and would love to have working dash lights. Thanks
in advance.
