Car stereo shop installed new radio- now no HVAC fan

Well, that is about par for the course. Once you figure out what caused it, if it was them take pictures and video of the fix, then I would go back and insist they refund you 100% of the radio install cost. Best of luck.

Between cheaterships and slime ball shops, always do it yourself.

Sadly between people who don’t want to work and people who are working and untrained, I’m hearing this more and more. Good lock OP. Curious to the fix when you find it.

After tracing a lot of wires it turns out my ground to 86 on relay was bad. I wonder if it was caused by them not tighting the battery cable? Least path of resistance? All back up and running now!

Ummmm...you wouldn't want to ride in a vehical I had worked on . Seriously, if I take things to shops in the first place when I don't have the skills, tools, time or combinations of those things.

Sad thing is I have the skills. I have been suffering with a sciatic nerve problem for about 4 weeks and just did not feel like doing it.

Haha, fair point and thanks for having me spit coffee out; when I read this it was for real LOL

I get it - I had a buddy of mine always say, do what you do. Many folks don’t have time, patience, or tools. It’s just sad that you can’t really count on the shops that so many people depend on to get stuff done.

I wrecked my Femur in a moto crash last year so what I can do today is hardly what I could do A year ago. So….what does that mean? It means I need to count on folks to do the work I would normally do. I can’t yet get off the floor of the garage easily…bummer. Someday I hope to be back at it.

Sorry brother - I know the feeling in my post right below your last one. I too have mobility challenges.

Outstanding, You were able to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Hmmm, a shop that does not even tighten a battery cable, I would bypass that Bizness in the future.
AS far as Sciatica, oh yeah, I got Sciatica problems back and both legs, all the way down to the "Big" toe, and dat chit no joke. I am on meds for it, but it really only dulls it. I find when I go outside and work on stuff and get inventive, I pay for it for like a week, hee hee.

Every time I'd say that to my mother she'd beat me anyways.

But seriously, in the process of installing the component they should've tested everything in that area to make sure everything worked.
