You have wired the headunit through your lights circuit by the sounds of it.

You need to disconnect your wiring and get a digimeter and put in correctly.

If your unsure of what your doing just remove the headunit. Replace the fuse you blew and get a car stereo place to do it.

I think the fuse your chasing is under the steering wheel.

Can someone add to this. Anyone know the wire colouring? I did mine months ago and my car is an hour away.

U have just blown either the dome fuse or the stop tail fuse......uve wired the earth to Illumination...disconnect the earth to where u have it...put it to the chassis somewhere and replace the fuse thats blown and all ur problems will be solved

heh hope you haven't wired "illumination" to the illumination LOL

I've seen that done before - it blows whenver you turn the lights on.

But yeah what has been said above I can't add to other than that (dont connect "illumination" to illumination).
