DO NOT INSTALL A RADIO WITHOUT FACTORY INSTALLATION PARTS!!! FOUND IT BLEW THE FUSES AND WAS SO ANNOYING BEING PULLED OVER BY TROOPER FOR NOT HAVING TAIL LIGHTS ETC. TOOK 3X'S IN THE SHOP AND A THOROUGH GOING OVER EVERY ELECTRICAL WIRE ETC. SINCE THE RADIO WAS TAKEN OUT NO MORE PROBLEMS. FUNNY IT WORKED OK FOR FIRST 3 MONTHS OF INSTALLATION AT BEST BUY!!! STAY AWAY FROM B.B. OUR OPINION.......JF

I have break lights and headlights but NO tail lights or dashboard lights. Keeps blowing #20 amp. Repeatedly. Sometimes the fuse lasts up to 3 days and then license plate light goes out after blowing fuse. Where could the problem be? Some sort of switch?

Had a radio cd player put in last year...also have been having problems starting the car. What could be up? It's been to mechanic twice and no luck.
