so basically my stereo harness was cut when i got it. i got a harness from the junkyard and tried to wire it back together by color coding. but theres some blue wires that look the same but dont do work together. since the harness is cut my accessories for the car dont work. such as the clusters light and roof light. i really dont wanna rig it..can anyone help?

Fuses are blown.

A cut radio harness would have zero effect on anything else in the car unless a fuse was blown. There's no other way to look at it. If you unplug the radio, does everything still work? Same effect. No other circuits are tied into the radio plugs that would quit working if it's disconnected.

Theirs no point of return i had the same problem in my old coupe you need to swap the chopped harness for a whole new harness that runs under the dash and make sure that harness isnt damaged.

the person who cut the harness prolly touched the power wires to ground wires with the dikes and blew a fuse. the acc stuff is all off of the same white 12v wires. check the fuses again. under the dash and in the engine bay

Well since you know it will work then yeah all you have to do is fix the radio harness, but my problem was exactly like his no accesory would work and no dash lights and the roof light wouldnt work. I still fixed the radio harnes and made sure all fuses and realays were good and their was still a problem. But for peice of mind it would be better to have an uncut dash harness instead of trying to fix it and hopeing it will solve your problem.Just my 2 cents.
