Good Morning, I had someone install a Aftermarket Stereo in my Mustang. After installation I noticed that the Dashboard back lights were out. Some of the indicators work, i.e. High Beam, Odometer, I checked all of the fuses under the dash and in the engine compartment. I took it to Best-Buy and had one of their Techs look at it and he had no clue. So any suggestions you might have would be appreciated.

the radio was probably wired to the wrong wire have it checked to see if it is hooked up to a light blue/red wire for the radio and not the illumination if it is that is the problem . but kind of sounds like radio was improperly installed.
