i have a 91 240sx and i must have blown a fuse or had a short somewhere when i was changing the stock radio. i'm lookin all over the place for the fuse box and i have no idea where it is. i checked everywhere under the hood. most cars also have fuses in the side panel of the dash...but i guess the 240 doesn't.. \

now my wires are all messed up... the digital clock in the dash doesn't stay on all the time, if i was to open the door it would turn off...my interior dome light doesn't turn on, and the automatic seatbelt doesn't move unless i have the ignition on...can somebody please help me out!

DID YOU HAVE AT LEAST GET THE WIRE HARNESS TO YOUR 240SX? IF YOU DIDN'T, THEN THATS WHY IT ALL WENT WRONG FOR YOU. I NEVER HEARD THAT PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAD NO PROBLEM INSTALLING A RADIO IN A 240SX CUZ ALL IT IS IS AN ISO-MOUNT INSTALLATION (I USED TO WORK AT A CAR STEREO SHOP). IF YOU DID, THEN GET A LIGHT TESTER TO DETERMINE WHAT FUSE(S) ARE OUT. FOR ALL YOU KNOW IT CAN BE MORE THAN JUST ONE FUSE.

QUICK QUESTION THAT I DIDN'T ASK BEFORE...YOU DIDN'T CUT THE FACTORY HARNESS DID YOU?

 

no, i didn't cut the factory harness, and yes i did buy a harness for the radio....i checked the fuses and some were blown... i haven't got the chance the change them yet but i'm pretty sure that's the problem...
thanx for your help!

 

i had the same exact problem...its the fuse for the dome light that's causing all that problem. a simple i think its was a 10amp fuse that will fix all your problems.

took me about 2 weeks to figure it out but once i did its like durr it makes sense now. hope this helps you out
