Hello, I have the truck listed above. It has an aftermarket alarm/remote start installed. When i tried to unlock my doors with remote nothing happened. The doors or alarm wasn't responding. It did set alarm like usual last night. Had to unlock with key. Started truck like usual exterior lights came on and worked properly. I did notice that the instrument cluster lights were not on like they should be. Gauges were working like normal just no illumination. Radio worked normally. The driver side switches weren't operating either. Could not lock or unlock with switch. The driver side front and rear window would operate but the passenger side windows did. The passenger side switch would operate window but the door lock switch didn't work. Trying to see if i need to check fuses or maybe just disconnect battery and reset system to see if that works

Hi,

This is really a tough one because it is an aftermarket system. I won't have specific information related to the aftermarket design, schematic, specs, or anything. However, I will try to help.

Did this happen all at once? Have you checked to make sure there isn't a wiring issue?

Let me know.
