Problems and Fixes After Car Audio Installs

MX52Z

Anyone please?

MX52Z

I had a few days rest from all this and came back to it refreshed. During this time, I had checked all the fuses and left the battery disconnected, hoping the car would heal itself once plugged back in after all this time.

Well, no, same problem with the fan blowing, no AC control and no lighting. So, I double checked the big white plug on the AC module again and it's in tight.

Then it occured to me that I had removed the actual AC controls (the module with three circular knobs) to transplant them into the Metra dash kit and what do you know...I had forgotten to insert the little black plug in.

Derr....

Hey guys,

I've searched and tried every window reset method I could find on the forums... Tried to hold the button down then up for 15 seconds about 10 different times none of them worked. Help??

The windows still do the auto adjust thing when you open/close the doors, you just can't raise or lower the windows at all. Anyone had this happen? Any ideas what I should try to reset to get this to work???

A huge "THANK YOU" for this thread! I had the window and airbag issue after my stereo install. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Saved me a trip to the dealer and a few buck$ as well!

I install a new HU and here are my problems I read the thread n try a few things but

1 AC thermostat control illumination not coming up
2 hazards button and Synchro Rev not illuminating
3 Dimmer Controls not working to adjust the illumination neither they get illuminated
4 steering wheel controls not illuminating
5 door panel light does not comes up
6 traction control not illuminating
7 after closing the door n locking it with the door button the car does not make the beeping sound (tried holding lock n unlock buttons simultaneously in the remote n no bueno

I'm thinking that most of the illumination problem has to do with pin 8 (white) in the oem harness that needs to be grounded like 15 but not sure. I checked the fuses in the kick panel/under steering n in the battery n everything seem fine. I look at the fuse box behind the battery by removing the cover but did not inspect them cause from what I could read without moving the battery there nothing with illumination related. Is there a Fuse replacement problem if so where please? Or it gets solved grounding the 8 pin? Also I notice that when I switch the ignition button/ start button to Accesories the check engine gives me a code of 5 blinks. Anyone knows what is the car telling me? Is this related to the illumination problem? Help is appreciated thanks guys

Are you doing it one by one with all doors shut?

Yes! All doors shut, turn to ON, hold switch in down position for 15 sec, then up for 15 sec.. Tried both sides 5-6 times with different variations, none worked. Any ideas? Thanks big

Tried 10 seconds down then 10 up... Up then down, 5 seconds each way.. Nada. The windows go all the way up and down when I use the little emergency key in the door so I know the damn things work just fine.

In other news the rest of my head unit install went perfectly and I even got the steering wheel controls to work pretty easily thanks to the other threads around here, so today was not a total fail.

Thanks for the help on the airbag light fix. I just had a new head unit & speakers installed and got the airbag light. The install shop checked all fuses and then scheduled me for next week to diagnose the issue. Quick search here and wham... no more airbag light. Thanks a million!!!

So, I've tried this fix about 600 times in 60 different ways over the last 6 months and haven't had any luck. The manual mode still works, but the automatic mode and the door close/window raise mode don't work. Also, it won't go up while the door is open, but it will go down.

This happened after I replaced the speakers and pulled the door panel to put in sound proofing. This is on the driver's side only and I'm about ready to go buy a replacement switch at $100, but am reaching out in hopes that somebody might have another suggestion to try.

Thanks!

So as an FYI - It was recommended to disconnect the battery during install. That will help avoid most of the issues. But it was noted that if you disconnect it to often that you will still get a SES light. That code is P0603. Should be able to be cleared with any code reader.
