I recently bought a new stereo from Crutchfield. They sent me everything( instructions, mounting plate,etc.) I followed the instructions to a T. I unhooked the negative battery cable. I installed to stereo. I hooked the negative battery cable back up. I turned on the ignition and everything worked fine. I have noticed in the past that when I have unhooked the battery that the instrument panel goes crazy. No problem there yet. I came back a few minutes later and tried to listen to the radio. Nothing No radio. I tried to start the ignition and the instrument panel goes crazy. The engine started fine but still no radio. I turned off the ignition, got out and tried to lock the doors with the keyless entry device (no luck there.) I open the door back and tried to press the door lock button on the panel (still no luck.) I had to lock the doors manually. If I have the ignition running the door lock button on the panel works fine. Now everytime when I start the ignition I get the instrument panel going crazy thing. I put the old factory radio back in and it doesn''t work either. I would appreciate any kind of help.
