Clock and Stereo both not working - Honda Prelude Forum

i was working on my friends car and we changed out the deck and put in a used cd deck. after connecting all the wires it turned on for a couple seconds, then without turning off the car i unplugged the wiring harness and replugged and it did not work, checked and the acc fuse was blown so we replaced that. the stereo never ended up working and the clock isnt working either now...any idea on what happened??

Check the clock/radio fuse....it's in the under hood fuse box.

so is it not the acc fuse that is located in the kick panel?? is it labeled under the hood?

thanks for your help

btw you ARE talking 4th gen preludes right, i read about 5th gens and they have fuses under the hood (too?)

there's two fuse boxes- one under the hood, and one in the driver's side kick panel...

and yeah, it's prob the clock/radio fuse under the hood if u didn't disconnect the battery prior to messing with the radio

It is one of the fuses on the top row, closest to the firewall. 4th gen's and 5th gen's both have 2 fuse boxes.

thanks so much, im going to go check that out today, i guess the acc fuse being blown just threw me off and i didnt think about looking for a different fuse...and yeah i didnt disconnect the battery, i never do, maybe next time ill remember. usually i work with the car off, not yesterday lol

thanks, it worked, one question now is what color is the wire that goes to the power antenna?? i kno that on the new harness it was blue but i dont know what color the wire is on the harness i cut off, there was a conflict on the chart i used but i figured out that the brown with white strip was the rear speaker. any help is appreciated

What you cut off the factory harness instead of using an adapter harness = FAIL.
