My Vert is my good weather toy only, so today while I was shining her up for a cruise to play golf I decided to remove the stock sun visors. They were beyond dingy and tattered. I took off the two phillips heads screws and the allen head screw as well. That doesn't do it, apparently you have to remove the A piller to get to the electricial wiring for the lighted mirrors. I decided to just cut those wires and stuff them up the gromet out of sight. I did it, the car looks better, BUT now my CD deck and my speedometer are dead. WHAT? Did I short something out? I check the fuses under the hood and all seemed fine. Where or what can I check next? HELP!

If you just cut it you have to ground out the circuit there may be more to it but i do know you have to ground it out.

+1 on grounding it. one ground took out all rearlights, flashers, turn signals, and alternator and it took me 3 weeks to find it

thanks for the replies. I didn't need to remove the A pillars afterall. I did remove the whole top liner in between the two visors. From there I removed the cut wires by unhooking the quick connects for each side, then I disconnected the battery for a reset. No dice, radio still doesn't work, and now the dash clock is out also. Is there a fuse box under the driver side dash that I can check for a blown fuse? The only box I checked is the one by the battery under the hood

i guess that was a serious question. yes, there is a fuse box under the driver side dash.

thanks guys, I thought there was a fuse box underneath, but I didn't see it outright and didn't want to snap or break anything while searching. I have the car home now and will do a more thorough search
