ok this is going to sound crazy, but looking at the diagram from above ( thanx @petergray8 ) but maybe when they rewired the oem harness they mixed up the illumination positive wire and the RR negative wire? like i said sounds crazy but from looking at schematic..

yellow has 2 wires= illumination positive, and right rear negative
white has 2 wires as well= steering wheel control but stereo doesn't have that option so cant test, front rear negative

all other options that have multiple colors are working
black= front right positive, rear right positive, and ground.

and after a little parts shopping the only dimmer relay i could find is in the turn signal/headlight switch, but the clicking is coming from next to interior fuse box

 

[petergray8]

This is possible, I suppose. Here's a link to the wiring diagram for the illumination system as it pertains to the audio system - this matches up with the Ill+ and Ill- wires on the first wiring diagram I posted. Illumination wiring

I would pull the stereo back out, and make sure that the thicker yellow wire is in pin 15, and the thinner yellow wire is in pin 5.

sorry guys work has been super busy and i have had no time. first of all thank everyone for the help!
especially @petergray8 .it ended up being the the dimmer control switch located on the turn signal lever. a buddy of mine found a harness for the dash for very cheap so we replaced that and then replaced the turn switch. all is well.

 

[petergray8]

Glad you've got it figured out.

well after a week trip to California for some vacation and 2-3 months of borrowing my mother in laws car, (for it to run properly, i would have to warm up, turn off and wait 5 mins) gave up and returned it back. come to find out it was moisture getting into the coil, funny i mentioned this to him a weeks ago or a bad seal as it was really humid lately.

i got the rondo back, homeboy told me its the BCM, or something like that, i was so irritated that he didnt follow thru after this long..i keept getting the "next weekend, guy has the part just need to put it n". still waiting MONTHS later.
is it under the glovebox by kickpanel or is it by the steering wheel? cant seem to find a definate answer and really have no time to really investigate.

 

[petergray8]

I thought your Rondo was fixed? What issues are you seeing now?

The BCM is behind the panel below the steering wheel. You need to take off the driver side panel that is covering the interior fuse box, and then the lower crash pad under the steering wheel. Here's a relatively small photo showing the connectors on the BCM. The white box to the left of the labels is the interior fuse box. You can also see the top of the brake pedal where it goes through the firewall directly below the BCM. May be able to get to it from underneath? There are 2 bolts holding it in.

@petergray8 , you are awesome!
i have been really busy at work, working on a promotion so no real free time. with the picture i was able to find and remove the unit. replacement should be here today.
i removed the BCM and removed housing, looked like it was dipped in some clear rubber, the only damage i could find was a little melted spot on top of a chip. didn't see any damage due to shorting out of excessive heat like you would on a mobo. So that got me think maybe the headlight switch. then it occurred to me to test the BCM. so i would connect/disconnect battery and remove one harness at a time.click went away after the first attempt. followed the harness plug on the mobo and sure enough it leads to the chip with missing rubber.
WOOP WOOP so hopefully thats the issue.
again thank you petergray!

 

[xjayhx]

Not the issue.

 

[xjayhx]

This is the mobo to my dashboard dimmer. Headed to the junkyard.

exposed traces and looks burnt to me.

 

[xjayhx]

FIXXED !

Hello I have same audio issue? Is anyone willing to help me aswell

What is your issue? Stock radio or aftermarket? Do you have the amp or not?

 

[yungj]

Yes I have stock radio and stock amp. No sound came out from stock radio, so I installed aftermarket radio to just at least have a better look on dash. No sound comes out at all

Did you suddenly lose sound from the stock radio? Or did you buy the car and it never had sound? Do you have powers and grounds at the stereo?

My family has had the car for about 5 years now and it was given to my brother. The radio worked fine on it, until he decided he wanted to install aftermarket radio. He chopped the old harness plug off and re wired with after market wires and it didn’t work. He said it didn’t give him sound (maybe because it doesn’t work with factory amp) he returned the aftermarket radio and couldn’t find the old plug he cut off so he went without a radio. Now year latter the car is mine now and I would realy like a radio inside it so I orderd a plug remake from metra and plugged everything in and no sound came on and now I put aftermarket radio I bought in because it looks nicer. Btw I have the infinity audio system I think

 

[petergray8]

Your problem is likely with the amp. I'm not sure what you need to do with the amp to wire an aftermarket radio. You may need to bypass it, or you may need to hook up the remote turn on wire to the amp. Did you buy anything through crutchfield? They have really good technical support if you did.

Sadly I haven’t. But the remote amp wire I don’t have. Is it a wire with harness?

 

[petergray8]

I think you need to go back to stock radio first and make sure that works. Pinouts for the stereo and the amp can be found here:

Stereo: sunbe7004n (chiltonlibrary.com)
Amp: sunbe7005n (chiltonlibrary.com)

And here's a wiring diagram for the system:

Make sure that the Metra harness is for the correct vehicle, and has the correct pins wired up. I'm assuming you soldered the Metra harness to the existing vehicle wiring in the dash? You may have crossed wires if that's the case. Do you have a photo of the Metra harness in the dash after it was installed?

I just talked to tech support by crutchfield and they told me the issue is probably with amp remote turn on. I need a wiring diagram to connect right colors to each other. Have you seen any? My system comes with infinity audio system

I just gave you the wiring diagrams. Remote turn on is pin 10 on the factory stereo, pin 7 on the amp. It is a green wire on the car's factory harness. On the aftermarket stereo harness, believe it is usually blue with white stripe.
