2010 f150 regular cab. I replaced the stock integrated radio with an Alpine ilx007. This worked fine. The stock speakers did not sound great so I replaced them with kickers 6x8. I looked up the wiring diagram and connected them correctly.
Now there is no sound. I have replaced head units and speakers on more trucks than I can remember. Never had this happen. I have checked all the settings. Everything seems correct.
Also may not be related but just started happening, dome and cargo light will not turn off. Unless I turn the dome light switch to the off position. The red lock symbol is on the dash. Intermittently the dash lights won't come on.
I have been searching on line I haven't seen anyone else complaining about this
Any ideas?

Somethings wired Incorrectly! Triple check...

First thing I thought also. I have gone over everything several times even confirmed the wiring with my local dealer. Made sure all the connections are good nothing pinched or grounding. With this truck being different ( no radio power wire) I had hoped that someone here would know something.

Your title makes me laugh, that usually how I do thinks, replace them and break them at the same time lol

This one is frustrating me I'm thinking about just going to buy a small amp and run a new wires. From all the postings that I've read it seems like those factory wires have problems anyway.

You have a short somewhere/wires crossed. I'd hook the factory radio back up and see if that fixes it. If it does, then go back and start over with the new radio.

You might have a incorrect harness for the new radio.

The alpine worked fine until speakers were installed. I will pull it back apart again. Monday check every wire again.

Check speaker resistance to head unit. (ohms)

Did you use the Metra harness to connect the new speakers? There's been issues with the wires being crossed from the factory.
