Hi guys,

After a stereo installation on my R33, my constant wire seems to be dead. It had also caused my clock to stop working. At first the clock was just resetting back to 1:00 but now it doesn't show at all.

Any idea if this is a fuse?

Can anyone recommend a decent auto electrician or car stereo installation place in inner Melbourne / Prahran area to fix this issue and install the stereo?

Regards,

David.

sounds like you grounded that constant wire and shorted a fuse... its pretty easy to fix, open up the fuse box and look for one that has broken...

it also sounds like you stole the constant wire from the clock... you should make your own from the battery...

did you check your power wires? im a little drunk, so im not sure about anything, but check your power wires... run some wire straight from the battery to the 12V line on your headunit... if that works, then your power wires are Effed in the A somehow... run new ones...

you have to try both 12V and Acc, the headunit wont turn on without the Acc one attached... so if you chuck a 12V constant on that, and it works, it means your Acc is f**ked somewhere along the line...

either wire or fuse... run a new wire from the fuse to the head unit, if that works, that side of the power works... if that doesnt work, the 12V line to the Acc fuse is f**ked...

trial and error is fun :(

be careful :rolleyes:

also, more info helps sometimes :)

also, i hope that made sense, cause im not proof reading it...

its possible... but i think everything in that cluster uses the same fuse/power lines... your better off getting a long cable and going straight from the battery...

but try it, ive never had that exact problem, so give it a go...

man im getting jipped :rofl: my fuses are in the engine bay...

but yeah, theres 2 lots of fuses... when we say 'check fuses' we mean both lots... one is above your right shin when you drive, the other is either in your engine bay on the left (from drivers seat) or in the boot?

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
