Beretta.net

i have the 94 base beretta and when i put my new radio in it worked for a while but then i think something must have blown, the fuses were all still good, but my car dings at me like i have my door open all the time, and my clock doesn't work nor does my ABS or any of the "courtesy lights" so as of now i have the fuse in slot 11 pulled to stop the dinging. any ideas as to what happened?
oh and the aftermarket radio wont turn on anymore so i had to put the stock one back in  

does the stock one work?

yeah, the cassette player works, which is all i use anyways (cassette to iPod adapter thing) but the screen/clock/thing doesn't
its confusing  

I bet your courtesy module is shot or one of the wires is grounding out.

Possibly the dimmer wire shorted to ground. That's the only thing I can think of that would be stereo-related, and cause the display to not work on the stock radio.

 that makes sense, because when i put the new deck in i didnt know what to do with the wire on the harness labeled dimmer because pioneer decks dont dim at all, where is that wire? or how can i fix it?

yesterday the cassette player itself stopped working (probably because thats all i ever used for like 5 months) so now my car has no stereo at all, its really depressing. so i am hoping that i can figure this whole thing out pretty soon

I believe dimmer is Brown, but I could be wrong... anyway, figure out what it is. Then use an ohmmeter to see if there's any resistance between the dimmer wire and ground. If you get a reading, then that wire is shorted out somewhere. You could try to find the break in the wire, but it's usually easier to replace the entire run.

replace you door chime..the whole unit...that is positivley what it is ..i had the same thing happen to me !!
