I was installing a new sony headunit in my car
when i plugged the battery back in to see if it would work, it didnt, the head unit turned on but no sound from the speakers
then i noticed a constant clicking sounds maybe around 60bmp
along with the clicking, the clock was going on and off along with the park/drive/reverse and what not lights
i have no idea how installing a new stereo in my car could make it unable to start
i unplugged all the wires from the car but it still wont start
i just get a click
and the head unit only turns on when the key isnt turned, or when its turned all the way so like when im trying to start the car
can anyone help?
if i cant have music, i at least have to be able to drive

check for blown fuses. it could be a problem.

 

fuses are all fine

 

Sounds like you may have shorts somethiing out in the ignition some how. I would suggest getting your hands on a good wiring diagram and a tester of some kind a guage or test light. Try to see if your getting power to the starter and work your way back from there following the wiring diagram to see what goes where. It's a pain but, it may be the best way to isolate your problem.

 

Cig/Radio and Dome fuses are used for radio and clock.

Check the ECU-IG fuse connected to the power antenna (if the car has one).

If clicking noise follow the noise. Car has relays behind drivers side dash (near where left knee would be), drivers and passenger side kick panels and behind the glove compartment.

Does car have a theft prevention system or radio with theft prevention system (radio would have something on the front panel to this effect)?

 

60bmp means its one click a second. So somehow you have the clocks timer putting some interference into the system. what wires did you connect into where? Your s/a must be coming from the clock but where is your full active coming from?
