Check the illumination wire on the deck.

If its grounding with anything, it'll blow a fuse.

re-check your wiring, obviously something is not wired correct.

so i need to do is right now is to take off all wire on the harness and the harness to the deck, and rewire them? i took off all amp wires like the red and gound and the blue wire from deck to amp.

Thats a problem, the only wire that need to go the amp is the remote turn on wire (blue).

Your power wire (red) should be coming from the battery. Your black (ground) should be coming of the amp onto your chassis.

The HU have a illumination feature. If not you should hook the dimmer up.

I'm sorry didn't explain correctly or type rather. I meant to say if your HU does not have an illumination feature which can be adjusted to dim according to the car dimming fuctions the dimmer should NOT be hooked to the HU.
