What do I do with the dimmer ground wire on my car stereo?

[andrewh]

I bought a deck and I am in the process of connecting the wires from the deck to the wiring harness. On the wiring harness there is a wire that is orange w/ black stripe that is the dimmer ground wire. Do I need to connect to this to the ground off the deck or what?

tie it in to your main ground for the stereo

Okay, I registered for this site simply to respond to this post -- this answer is WRONG -- DO NOT GROUND THAT WIRE!

I just attempted this when installing a Kenwood head unit into my 2008 Toyota Matrix, and when I turned on the lights in the car, it blew a fuse that took me nearly an hour to fix.

I had to cut "dimmer ground" wire and now it works fine. The correct answer here is to NOT attach the wire to anything.
