    ok so ive installed 3 stereos before and never had any problems, well i did it in my girlfriends silverado today and now none of her interior lights will go on, i disconected the battery before i did anything, there was a dimmer wire that i didnt connect because there wasnt another wire for me to connect it too. can anyone help? do u guys think i blew a fuse or need to connect that dimmer wire? ive never had a dimmer wire on a harness before

    the dimmer wire from the vehicle needs to be capped off, if it shorts to anything it will blow the fuse for illumination lighting..
