Ok I may have made a mistake with the car stereo (doubt it) does anyone have any idea. What popped in the dash and started smoking how about what caused the battery saver active light to come on all I can think is that maybe the zero gauge wire caused it or showed the computer that it was drawing more power than it should have thanks
These new cars appear to be very finiky about having wiring changed. Even the smallest alteration can cause something else to go wrong. It's not just the Cruze either. People changing things the new generation Civics are running up against strange things going wrong. I saw one thread about a guy who put HIDs in a new Civic and the trunk & rear plate lights don't work now. With all of the computers and their interconnections, it is very easy to screww something up.
Thank you I should have bought the base model to tear up anyway not the Ltz not that it would have made a difference but there are less controls (steering wheel heated seats and such)thanks again
