Did you cut into the factory wireing harness (for the radio) of the car? There shoudn't be any reason your signals don't work unless u cut the factory harness. You could look at the main power distribution and see if ya blew a fuse there.

You blew a fuse. Check the fuses that are under the hood and under the dash.

i know whats wrong. buying it from a pawn shop. which means that theres a 95 percent chance it was stolen from someone elses car. which means that theres no telling what the hell could be wrong with it. just my 2 cents, but thats from a guy who got 2 head units stolen now...

I dont think something is wrong with the unit. It worked fine until he moved it. When you move it into the dash the wires will move...a bad connecting job can short it out and blow some fuses. Having the signal and clock stop working is a real sign of a blown fuse since in some cars, they use the same fuse (clock and radio).

it's an Autobahn that you purchased from a pawn shop - that's probably what's wrong with it.

Gotta make sure all the fuses are good (not just look good, but are good) and make sure it's grounded properly. On top of that, ensure that the constant 12V and switched 12V lines are hooked up correctly.

Past that, if it's still not working, it's probably a dead unit.
