It all started with a pinched wire when my radio was being changed out, it clipped the wire so then that was repaired. then it blew a fuse and that was replaced, but now my turn signals and running lights are not working at all, and my interior lights will not shut off. We checked the fuses with no luck. What do I do?

Hey JANALU25,

Just to confirm, you have fitted an aftermarket radio?

Did you use a wiring adapter harness or did you splice wires?

The interior dome light switch does not do anything?
Can you also check operation of the instrument panel dimmer switch (shown in the picture attached number 10) this has a dome position that will over-ride the interior lights and keep them on. Make sure this is not switched on.

Can you please check all of the fuses in both fuse panels and report back?

Regards, Joe
