Like the title says I put in a kenwood CD player and after the install my dash light, the heater controls, and the lights that indicate what gear I'm in also went out any help on this?

 

Well, check the fuses for INST LPS and TAIL. Did you hook up dimmer or headlight signal wiring to the radio, if so disconnect it for now. It would be a gray wire that has the dimmer voltage on it.

 

Like afremont said, you blew a fuse. Check your grounds and make sure the power and constant wires arent exposed.

 

Yeah be careful with those. They're the RADIO and ARC fuses. You can do some damage with that ARC wire being hot all the time and able to cough up 20 Amps worth of fireworks which you likely wouldn't enjoy.

<PREACH> Man I don't want to be a mother hen, but you can't use too many fuses when you add your own wiring. Always fuse it as close to the source of power as you can in case of a short. Many many moons ago I had an 8-track in my car wired to an unfused area of the fuse box. I had a short to ground on the 8-track player end of the wire and well you know what a toaster element looks like I suppose. :0 Trust me, you don't want to see three feet of wire light up like that inside your car. All the insulation just dropped off the red hot wire. I was fortunate that the harness side of things didn't do the same thing, though it would likely have popped a fusable link somewhere since the factory has more sense than me when it comes to safety. I was lucky in that my wire was small enough that I didn't have that happen. I was also lucky in that the wire draped across my leg didn't slice into me like a foam cutter. <PREACH OFF>

 

Check which wire you connected the radio ground to. It should be connected to the BLACK wire in your dash, not the brown one.
