- Mon Jun 01, 2009 3:26 am #119868 1993 civic si. was trying to connect a radio the other night and all of a sudden my dash clock got alot dimmer and only is bright when i press the button. i took the radio out and its still dim. any ideas?

check the fuses under the hood for the stereo and clock. its on the same one i think.
when i was putting a after market one in the power wire hit metal and blew the fuse and it went dim.
my best guess...

that's when it's supposed to dim.

white blue is constant power and should be connected to your aftermarket radio's yellow wire.

accessory power is red/yellow I believe. Could be yellow/red if my memory is backwards. This should be connected to your aftermarket radio's red wire.

Second likely option is that your radio's dimmer wire is incompatible. Just disconnect it, it's not necessary.
