Well i found the fuse thats blown. Its under the hood and its the left headlamp turn light fuse. I replaced the fuse and turned the lighs on to test it and it blew again. MY gauges for my dash will not light up either. Im not sure if its cause of the same fuse or what. I just put a new head unit in today. Could this have anything to do with this problem? Could i have pulled any wires under the dash or anything? Please help me...its kinda hard to drive with no dash lights. Thanks!

Pull the head unit out, replace fuse, and see if it blows. You probably have an exposed wire somewhere that's grounding on some metal behind the head unit. I've done that several times. Make sure every wire is wrapped in electrical tape and nothing is exposed.

Pull the head unit out, have it laying somewhere so no wires are touching anything metal, and replace fuse. Will fuse only blow after headlights are turned on?

does this radio also have a built in "dimmer" that turns on a light (or makes the unit glow dimmer) when your lights are on?

Yeah one of the wires was naked and was touching metal. I cut it off and now it works fine. Thanks for your help.
