Alright i was messing with the climate control and stereo harness trying to mount my boost gauge and I messed something up. The clock doesnt work, the light doesnt turn on, the chime doesnt come on anymore, my stereo doesnt work, and my windshield wipers turn on when i turn the key to ACC. Some please help me on this, i dont know much about wiring and such. Thanks in advance.

hey, i think i'm having the very exact same problem. except mine all started when i put my gauge bezel back on which involved disconnectting my gauge cluster.

Ever since then i have to have the key in the on position for seat belts to move. Dome interior light doesnt work , or door chime. and the clock in the gauge cluster doesnt work or light up and the wipers will wipe one time when i turn the key to the on position.

I just havent had time to mess with it yet. i think something might be not plugged in all the way.

I have no idea what might be wrong with yours though since you were dealing with a stereo
