Before I start, let me be clear that I have searched and searched similiar questions and am not trying to be lazy when asking this question. I foolishly bought a 1994 Acura Integra that appears that whoever owned it before me started replacing everything then midway through said it appears I don't know anything about this car and sold it. Then I bought it off the girl that bought it after him...Now to my question. I bought the car with no radio (figured no big deal ill just put one in.) Also, the clock doesn't work and the gauge cluster lights come on but the dimmer will not work so they are constantly dull. I went to the junkyard and purchased a new dimmer switch, and it still doesn't work. I bought a brand new pioneer headunit and wired it correctly (I have installed plenty of headunits) and plugged it into the car and nothing. I replaced the fuse in the car that is marked radio/cigarette lighter (cigarette lighter works fine) and I also replaced fuse under the hood marked backup which controls the radio/clock. I also replaced the bulbs in the gauge cluster and they are still dull and dimmer still doesnt work. Car had a tan interior and now has a black dash...my guess is that when the kid did the dash, it may have been out of a different year and he could have possibly not switched from his old wiring harness and just left the new one that came on the new dash? Are the wiring harnesses different in 94-01 integras? If so,how do I fix this problem? Buy a 94 integra wiring harness off ebay and pull the dash and rewire to see if that works? Or is there another solution here or way for me to figure out what plug or wire is wrong somewhere? Sorry for the long post and thank you for any feedback.
