I installed a simple JVC radio w/o CD player, and I'm trying to avoid leaving the factory radio hidden in the car. I found a youtube video showing how to jumper between connector pins to get your dome light to work with the door switch and I installed the jumper (pic). Now the ceiling dome light switch has two "on" positions and one off, but does not get switched by the door switch. Also, my electric mirrors stopped working after install. Any help would be appreciated. 1997 Civic LX Aftermarket Radio/No Dome Light -- posted image.

It has two green connectors that were connected to the factory radio. The one with the jumper in the above picture is the smaller connector of the two. It is keyless entry equipped.

Light Green/Red...door switch @ pin 14, Light Green/Black...dome light @ pin 8. Connect those together.

Ween posted a helpful link a while back. You can lookup wiring diagrams for many vehicles. I suggest you bookmark it:

Check fuse 17 under your dash for the mirrors.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
