todays vehicles are a pain in the ass. I had a 96 grand cherokee that did the same thing. My question is...did you buy a connector kit? If you didnt then...theres the problem..to fix...go back and put together everything that may have been cut or spliced, so that it looks just like when you disconnected the stock system. Then, go to wal mart or w/e else is handy at the time and pick you up a scosche connecter for your model vehicle for around 5 bucks, make the connection and your problem SHOULD. be fixed. I had a hellofva time tryin to fix it on my jeep, my lights wouldnt work, security sys, dimmer, and gauges were going crazy...when i figured it out...simple fix.
