Q: Electrical disconnect
Inherited a nightmare to fix. Best Buy installer did an after hours job installing a system. Apparently a wire caught on fire inside the car. Don't know where he tapped into but the car is dead. Verified maxi fuses underhood and each individual fuse and everything looks good. Battery was charged overnight and is in good working condition. So, the power door locks will work. Put the key in the ignition and the interior chime starts making noise. That's it tho. No dash lights. No power windows. No radio. In addition, can't take the car out of park either.
