6HRS wasted including internet time.
Took the stereo out today Alpine.Looks like a adapter harness was
installed to the factory plug.Next with the stereo unplugged I tryed
the lights still no luck.Doesnt look like factory plug has been
spliced or touched.Is it possible problem could be in the ignition
switch or the light switch.
