Hey guys just installed my dension yesterday and i took it to the dealer, because after I installed it, I could no longer control the passenger side window and non of the front doors would lock. Does any1 know which fuses I need to fix and with what kind of fuse?!

Please HELP!

Thanks guys

I tapped into the cdc for power as per the diy thread on this board. Which wires am I supposed to tap into?

Dension wise everything works it just keeps blowing a fuse and my passenger window won't work and neither front door locks.

Thanks for the help!

if you remove power from the dension does the car still keep blowing fuses? if so, it's not the dension's fault. However, you may have nicked a wire while you were back there behind the glove box doing the install.

Can I just use the battery to power my dension? Or will that drain the battery since it will always be on? It has an led so I don't think itd use too much power when off

There are only 2 wires for power to tap from CDC, one in use for sure which is the positive (+) and you can either also tap the negative (-) wire that paired together or use the body for ground.

To test if your problem related to GW500 install, un-hook the power connector plastic plug (I think it's black) that power the GW500 by doing so you disable the GW500 if your problem persist then it's not GW500 related.

GL!
