That was actually very informative. I knew that a pinched wire was a "short" but never understood the science behind it. I don't anything was pinched and surely nothing was done to exacerbate the problem recently. I hope it is just a blown fuse and it will behave normally when the new one is inserted. I am just waiting for my brother to come back with the car as I lent it to him for the afternoon. I'l keep you posted

i see this problem a lot with buddies of mine that put in their own stereo systems with little regard to protecting wires.  They later discover a blown fuse .. then trace it back to a pinched wire that is not a problem in and of itself, it's just that when it gets pinched, it's usually by something metallic and it pieces the wire sheath and allows the copper wire to contact and create a "new" circuit with the grounding metallic component of the car .. then then opens up the current to flow down this new path.

I rarely see with with remote start installs

I hope no wires are pinched cause then I have to open up my dash again which I am so not in the mood to do. I think this stems from me working on the wires with the ignition on at times. Is that possible?

Also another thing I forgot to mention is that when I started working on this, I did blow the actual fuse to the radio which provides 12v there but i did not bother replacing it because I wanted to run a wire to the battery anyways. I know a fuse was blown as probing the wire harness revealed the WHITE/ red wire was dead but the yelllow/red accessory wire did provide 12v with the key turned.(I think those were the wire colors) Anyways do you think this has something to do with my prob?

i'm looking at the electrical diagram manual again ...

Yup... common fuses involved:  page 1255 .. the non-bose circuit diagram (I assume you have the non-bose unit)

Fuse under hood: #2, #9, and #20 .. surprise surprise, they also affect your doorlocks...

Under dash fuse: #8

The #9 7.5A fuse under the hood supplies a WHITE/ red wire .. power to the headunit... that fuse also seems to help the doorlock system

Firstly I do have the BOSE system in this car. What is the diagram saying about that? Does the info you just provided still apply? Damn if only my brother would get home already as I am sooo anxious to get this fixed or at least find out the problem.

'ccording to the service manual .. the power to the headunit is identical to the non-bose vs. bose unit... the differences in bose vs. non-bose are at the speaker level as far as I can tell.

You said that your doorlocks were working w/o the key in the ignition temporarily after the radio install? Am I understanding that correctly?

oops... forgot to read page 1253... different circuit power diagram for bose stereos:

Under hood: #14, 20, and 9  (still applies that fuses are shared b/w stereo and doorlock system)

Under dash: #15 and #8j

The #9 fuse supplies a WHITE/ red wire .. the one you mentioned ..

Il tell you the truth, I am not sure they worked at all after the install. I initially said that because after I installed the stereo it never occurred to me that the locks would operate differently in the ignition on and off positions. I drove the car around and the locks worked with the ignition on but I don't know if they worked in the off position cause it never occurred to me to check that.
