Q: 2004 Acura Tl . I recently installed aftermarket radio. Noticed my interior lights arent working when door open .but works manual
I recently installed an aftermarket radio. Afterwards, I noticed my interior lights do not turn on when I open my doors. They will turn on when manually pressed. My ding noise from having the door open and headlights on doesn't ding anymore and lastly I lost the ability to lock my doors via locking button. When the car is on the unlock button works but the locking doesn't. What can you suggest I do or check?
