When I first bought my 97 honda civic coupe the CD player fell out and I put it back in then the dashboard lights went out. But they work when I use my remote start but when I put the keys in it shuts off? Please let me know if you know what to do too fix it. Thanks.

Sounds like a wiring issue with the remote start.... They probably ran off of one of the wires for the system and most likely that wire is now damaged

Dashboard.

Like it worked when the remote starter was in but then when my radio feel out I put it in then the dash lights went out. So I'm guessing I cut a wire somewhere but I can't find it.

It's the lights on the shifter, dash and where the heat and air controls are, all of them are out.

Probably crappy wiring on behalf of the people who installed the remote start/head unit. Someone obviously messed up somewhere. Have you contacted the previous owner or looked for receipts from the work done?

If the fuse was blown would the dashboard still work when the remote starter was going? Like I said it worked with the starter and after it was installed untill my radio fell out and I pushed it back in.
