You've hooked the stereo up to the same power feed as the odo, and it's stealing power from the odo. Find a better hot wire to hook the stereo to. I'd suggest the lighter, or even better, the power feed for the original stereo.
connected to the back of the odometer and runs in to the transmission it pulls out
Check the fuse. Check the wiring. Give more information.
Have you had the stereo replaced or upgraded? If so, they probly didnt install the proper install kit for the door chimes to work. The chimes are intergrated into the stereo system.
A charger is hooked to a 98 Monte Carlo battery by attaching the positive lead to the positive battery post and the negative lead to a strong ground. The charger is set to the desired rate and plugged in.
Only if you are wanting to keep the car bone-stock. Otherwise, any reputable car stereo installer can fix you up with a new and much-improved stereo system that will in no way effect the normal operation or dependability of the vehicle. Good Luck! Dub
The best diagrams I know of for transmission solenoid wiring is the Haynes Repair Manual #24048
Could be the factory amp had more power than the aftermarket unit most are around 45-50 watts or so they clam. But I'm sure these are overrated as well.
Here is a site on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/Stereo-Wire-Harness-OEM-Chevy-Monte-Carlo-86-87-88_W0QQitemZ110032845206QQihZ001QQcategoryZ64579QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem This is a reverse wire harness. Plug it into your car's original harness that went to the factory stereo. The wires that come out of the harness are labeled so they can be easily connected to your new stereo. If you don't want to order the harness, the link has the original color diagram, so if you think you can manage, don't order the plug and just look at the colors and what they coorespond to and plug them into your new stereos harness. Also on eBay or many other places, there are stereo adaptors. This will hold your stereo and it will look much better than a do it yourself job. Plus they screw into the original holes. Hope this helps.
I have same problem with stereo in my 1998 Z34. Lights on preset's 1 and 4 work but 2,3,5,6 are out. foud out from a lot of other people that this is a defect in most all of Chevys Radios in Monte Carlo's.. They say the bulbs behind the buttons are the worst made on the market. Brett
That would depend on the stereo that is installed. But no matter what NO rap of any kind should EVER be played for fear of destroying your reputation.
First you have to remove the plastic dash cover that goes around the radio, a/c vents, and steering wheel (it just pops off). there are 2 screws that hold the radio in, remove the 2 screws and pull the stereo oun and unplug.
Unhook it from the tranny and then the other end is up under the dash hooked to the speedometer, unhook it and take the cable out, just reverse the process for installation.
