(dont think this will be the issue, hwoever may be).check that you havent wired anything in the wrong spot in your fuse box as well, if you started to play around in there...Hope this helps!

sicklaser Member 183 Member For: 18y 9m 5d Location: Mackay QLD Posted 23/01/09 09:59 AM Share Posted 23/01/09 09:59 AM I would say that the accessories is backfeeding the dash illumination and park light circuits. double check the wiring behind the headunit. see if the stereo turns on (without the keys in the ignition) by turning on the headlighs.
