Default Dash is glitching
My dash won't illuminate and at the same time my sub and left door speakers quit playing audio. I've already pulled every fuse in the truck and pulled and rewired the radio. I can't figure it out, please help.

Do you have an aftermarket head unit? If so check your illumination wire (orange) in the harness. I bet that it is grounding out.

​​​​​​Yes I have an after market head unit and I had the orange wire tied in with he orange with a white stripe. Is that where I screwed up?

It's possible. You do not need the illumination wire for your head unit... in most cases. What make and model is yours?

I have a cheap pioneer head unit. I don't know what to do, I've chased every wire and checked every fuse
