After over half a year my car is back and running! But I do need help. Last night I was trying to get my subwoofer put back in. After pulling my aftermarket deck out to fiddle with the sub remote wire I noticed when I turned the headlights on I heard a buzzing interference sound faintly through the speakers. Later while driving, I lost lighting to my dash cluster back lighting, tail lights, and cornering lights. The interior lock switches also no light. From the research I could do I found a post saying something how its likely to happen with a after market deck, one of the loose wires touches metal and shorts out. I checked some fuses in reference to owners manual, didnt see anything but may have to check again as it was late at night. The dome lights work and fade on when the doors are opened, so I dont think its an LCMissue? Due to that buzzing noise i heard i feel its should be related to that... If someone could help me resolve this asap I would be very grateful.

Try reseating your tail light bulbs. That fixed those symptoms on mine.

Recheck all your connections.

Is the connector for the headlight switch fully seated?

Is the antenna lead fully seated?

You could also install another ground to the radio.
