Well now I'm a little less stressed out lol. Any chance you know what's goin on about my dome light connector not matching up? The big connector fits by the kick panel, every other one doesn't match.

Did you make sure you the right ohc for your year? When I got one the lower large plug didn't match up so I swapped the two and put the wires in the correct spots.

There might also be smaller plugs above the fuse panel you have to dig out

Fuse panel were? I don't even see fuses, and yeah he said its from a 92, mine is a 92, and if the big one matches them that means its the right one right?

I'm not sure about your 92, but with my '00 the harness for the ohc is down in the fuse panel on the passenger side kick plate.

No you shouldn't have to. It would be down in the foot area to right side, but like I said I'm not sure with your '92

The back two lights won't turn off, any ideas? And the red plug is for an aftermarket alarm so that's figured out, do I need to put a new fuse in or anything to get the computer to work?

Yup, both black plugs fit. The lights work. The back ones wont turn off though. If I push them to turn them off they stay off while it's pushed down, but they won't stick at off. And the screen won't Come on but I'm not really aure how to turn it on lol I've been just pushing the buttons

Check your wiring, you got something backwards. There should be a thread about this somewhere
