Some wires may have touched togeather or to some metal. Try checking the fuses in the fuse pannel.

Yep i would bet he is right. if the yellow or red wires touch a ground then the fuse is gone. Does your door chime still work?

Yeah check fuses, but if they are good then whoever did the install may have f*cked something up, maybe pulled out some wires in the dash.

It sounds like they had to unplug your power to your lighting for the AC and stuff and forgot to plug it back up when they put the dash back together but I would check the fuses before I pulled the dash apart

needle nose plyers and a flash light. In some cars there are a few fuses that can pop and still allow the stereo to play. Depending on what wire grounded.

i checked all the fuses, not the fuses under the hood tho, but under the dash, they were all fine. Im guessing a wire behind the dash or something, i just hope it dont fu(k up my electrical system.

did you get a shop or a friend to do it? If it was a shop and something is screwed up, thats something they have to deal with...

I bet, since it worked before and not now, that the HU got hot and possibly melted wires or the wires got smashed during install. Sounds like a horrible/sloppy install to me!!! JMO

I wouldn't take it back to a place that fucked it up the first time...You always need good quality service so find a trust worthy/honest amd skilled installer to help you out in the future, or spend some time and learn how to DIY.... JMO

Sinful, I would but I dont know anybody that I trust, I always heard to stay away from Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. I guess I'll just research on how to take apart my dash and look at the wiring myself.
