I tired to put a new Aiwa CD player in my 1990 Dodge B150. Everything weems fine, except for one small problem. there was one wire from the dodge harness that I couldn't figure out what to do with: The Orange one that was on the same block as the power. so I left this one alone. on my new stereo there was a yellow wire that seems to be for the memory, I connected it to the pink/red wire and the stereo works and hold time and presets. the REAL problem is this: when I turn on the headlights in this configuration it blows fuse 6 (Horn, guage lights, and rear lights-but not brake lights) the new stereo doesn't have the dimming capability of the original unit... how do I fix this? thanks Harry

why did you snip the wires?
why didnt you buy a plug in harness for $10 from the stereo store, radio shack, autozone even evilmart has them
wire it up COLOR for COLOR to the stereo tape off unused wires plug it in and wa-la you are DONE, no snaps crackles pops
It came without a stereo and only the power block/harness, the rest of the wires were just laying there...
Power antenna?

Now, orange is "normally" associated with the illum>>
