Installed a head unit, fuses blowing.
well i recently installed a head unit, works perfectly fine, But my tail lights, corner lights, and gauge cluster doesn't work when i turn on my lights.
i did the twist and tape way and i didnt connect the blue wire which is for the remote.
could those two things be the problem?

And I agree about twisting and taping-solder is your best connection, but butt connectors are a decent second.

Re: Installed a head unit, fuses blowing.
The question is, did it blow a fuse(s) or is it continually blowing a fuse or fuses? If it blew one and you replaced it and you're fine now, you grounded a hot-no worries. If you're still blowing fuses, you have a hot grounded or a ground hot-fed. Troof.

when i plug in my stock one it's fine, just only when i plug in the HU.
and i did have wiring problems with a short circuit in the trunk, but i got all those wires replaced.

I really can't imagine what you could have done that makes the stock head unit work properly but the new head unit not work.

Re: Installed a head unit, fuses blowing.
It's either a dead head unit, or you've wired something wrong between the adapter harness and the harness that came with the head unit. Or, one of those two harnesses is not assembled correctly and there are wires in the wrong connector positions.
I really can't imagine what you could have done that makes the stock head unit work properly but the new head unit not work.
