I installed new sony explode 3 way speakers in place of the stock ones in my suburban, When I took off the door panels some of the white clips stayed in the panel and some of them stayed in the door. When I re-install the panels do I start with all the white screw things(????) in the panel or the door and what do and do I use to take them out and put them in besides a special tool, and any tips on making them go back in smoother..I also blew a Fuse I think when installing overhead monitor. I installed in place of the 2nd overhead light. I have a performance teknique flip down(ICBM-9357T). anyone know the correct wiring..The teknique comes with a din plug for the video and a red and black wire. The previous dome light had 2 black wires a white wire and a orange wire. which one goes to the red wire? Do I slpice both black of the truck to the single black of the tv? I checked both the side fuse panel and under the hood and doesn't appear to be any fuses blown yet I don't have any interior lights except the dash, the cig lighter works and the power windows but no power mirrors and no interior lights...HELP..Oh one more thing..there was a PURPLE / WHITE stripe wire in the trucks stereo harness and it is not a speaker wire..IS the interior lights on a wire that leads into the stereo harness I pulled all unnecessary wires because I pulled stock cd player and head unit out..Is the vss wire on this harness?

Make sure you pry the white clips out of the door and reinsert them back into the panel. You can use a special pry tool made specially for panel clips ( it's only about $ 5.00 for one of these at parts store ). If the PT has lights on it then you need to hook up the dome light wire ( WHITE wire THIS IS A NEGATIVE TRIGGER WIRE that rests at 12 volts and when triggered is (-). ) What you need to do is find out if you need to hook up to a trigger or if the RED and BLACK wire needs to be hooked up to the ground & power only. NEVER ASSUME anything when it comes to wiring in a vehicle. ALWAYS use a DMM to test wires for accuracy otherwise you start blowing fuses or even worse, computers !
BTW: Why do you need the VSS wire ??

Thx for the reply, the Chilton Manual says that I could experience problems with the timing. Any other suggestions for checking the interior lights/power mirror situation they are not even on the same circuit.
