Ok, here it goes. I had installed the alarm and everything worked except the door pin and i didnt install the satellite harness that gives power to the ignition, starter, etc...

I went back in and tap those wires and now, what a disaster. My tachometer does not work, my clock does not work, and when i turn my the ignition on, the park lights turns off. Also, when the headlights are on, i can not turn off my car using the ignition, i have to turn the lights off and than turn it on. I went back in double check the wires, and everything seems to be right. However, the Start signal (mt fi) fuse keep on blowing. So im thinking there's a short somewhere, but i can not find it. Also, maybe the ignition and the parking lights are intertwine somewhere that it activates each other. Any help and suggestion would be appreciated...????

If you are getting shorts everywhere, I suggest taking out the system all together and re-wiring the system one wire at a time. Did you solder all your connections and when you tapped off the connection, were there any strands of wire that may have been poking out of the tape ? I know there is not too much room under these Preludes from previous experience so just make sure that there is no strands poking out of the tapped connections.

Take the whole thing out before you burn up something important if you haven't already. Start from scratch after you replace all the blown fuses. If you don't feel comfortable re-installing it, theres no shame in going to the pros.
