I wired up my new Aiwa to a Honda wiring harness, all the wires are perfect, soldered, and electrical taped - everything is kosher.

But when I plugged the honda harness into my car's harness, not only does the radio NOT power on, but 1) the radio fuse blows in the underdash fusebox and 2) my gauge lights and clock are both out and won't come back on even if the deck is unattached. By gauge lights I mean lights that illuminate the gauge - it's stock, no indiglo or anything. The fusebox diagram doesn't list a separate clock fuse or gauge light fuse... and I only had two 15 fuses, both of which blew. I'll get more tomorrow - but until then, any ideas?? I'm really frustrating and pissed off...

Big thanks to any who can help me out.
