Hello, I just installe a stereo in my Sebring. The wires from the car had 9, the wires from the stereo had 8. I replace the factory radio which had the wiring diagram on the top of unit. Now my dash lights, and recently my tail lights have gone out. I checked the usual suspect however,
1. I did not find loose ground from stereo
2. Its not the fuse because that fuse controls the top, windows and headlights. Im stumped .....any thoughts?

I would love to donate but am unable to due to job loss. Car is my only affordable transportation. Please help.[img:69090fb10e]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/320537_Feb_Pics_005_1.jpg[/img:69090fb10e]

The radio shouldn't have had that effect on the things you listed. However, it may have an affect on the body control module (BCM) which may cause your problem.

I hate to say it but you should try reinstalling the old radio to see if the problem goes away.

Let me know what you find.
