Hi
I have this truck and the radio went out, so when i rewired it to a new radio no sound came out. So I rewired a new speaker and got it to work. Then I started my truck and none of the guages worked the fuel, speedometer, temp., oil pressure, RPMs. Then the electronic lights that show what gear I am in and how many miles are on the truck was black. No power went to the radio either, just to the climate adjuster. Can someone please tell me what is wrong?
Thank You

there are adapters that plug in so you don't have problems like this. It kind of sounds like you have clipped the wrong wires and hopefully all you did was blow a fuse or fuses. I'd suggest you get the adapters that are around $20 and plug stuff in to get it to work that way and put your wires back like they were.
