Touch screen radio installed; the guy that installed it I guess they didn't do it right and one of the wiring harnesses ended up melting. So I rewired everything back same color to same color and went to plug into factory radio and it wouldn't work but it worked when it came out. I checked all the fuses are good.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Just a quick question first. What is the brand and model touch screen radio you installed? Here is a wiring diagram to compare the wiring harnesses to make them compatible. Let us know and we'll go from there. Here are the radio wiring diagrams (below) and a guide to help test the system.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

Hello again.

Also, I've attached a picture below of the different stereo systems that were available in your Acura. Can you let me which one you have so I can attach a wiring diagram for you. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Never mind I found the problem. I was reading a story in one of the parts y'all were helping someone else and in there y'all had some diagrams to y'all sent to this person and I started looking at them and it showed other fuses and it happened to be one for the right rear system on one of my fuse box under the hood.
