Aftermaret Radio Nightmare

[sethgage]

Over the summer I won a 99 Q45 from a auction and fell in love for sure lol. It came with a cheap Pioneer cd/usb player so I took that out and put in a Blaupankt. Ive hooked up alot car audio so the install was easy. I turned the car over to test and noticed that the Dash/AC panal lights were out. Plus the AC was stuck on Auto and woulndt turn off. What I did not notice is the Illumination wire was not hooked up on the Pioneer. So ive shorted out something somewhere but have no idea what. Surly someone has made this mistake before. Can anyone help out?

My cluster lights have been out for a while now, so i can´t help you there. My illumination wire coming out of my radio isn´t hooked up to anything, but I´ve read that can cause your lights not to come on. Did you plug in all the connections? My AC was stuck on Auto when i didn´t plug the connector back into the back of the AC controls. Maybe you didn´t reconnect the dimmer switch?
