Default Problems after head unit install

So I got a Kenwood head unit installed today at an Audio Express. I had it in my 03 GT before it was taken from me. Now that it is installed I am having a few issues. So my gauge illumination lights are on all of the time now, and whats even weirder is now my fog lights are always on. If i keep my headlight **** pushed in and twist it instead of dimming my interior lights it dims my fog lights. Are these issues a common problem after having a new head unit put in? I know when I had this put in my 03 my gauge lights would always be on which didn't really bother but, but these problems added onto that kind of having me wondering. Any info would be very helpful!

No... I highly recommend you go back to the shop and tell them to fix this.

wow been installin for a lot of years and never heard of this. Although one of the shops I worked at in az had their lawyer tell them they needed to remove sign in the window stating,"we fix $1 wire fires!".


Not sure what to say here as it sounds like they did something really wrong... I would give them one chance to fix it but if they don't I would recomend going to a different shop honestly.

Went to Audio Express after work today and they took the car in right away and fixed the problem in no time. I guess they had a new guy working on my car yesterday and he mixed a few wires up, but all is well now!
