So I had my truck tinted yesterday and I tinted the front windshield...

The tinter hit the wiper switch with his hip when doing it and since then the wipers do not shut off, the guages are at zero, security light is on, radio does not work, and the truck says low fuel, and all the dashlights are on including all the gear functions... At first when I drove hom it only did this like every few minutes. Later that night I thought it was fixed after about a 10 min drive then it came back. Now it does it all the time...

Could he have broke that switch and I get all these problems?

The other thought is a decent amount of water went down the dash during install of the tint. I am worried the water shorted something out.

I tried to hold the trip button and turn the ACC on per another forum. It appered to run a check, but still no fix, and the radio used to work till I did this step^.

Please help. And thank you.

Sounds like they screwed something up pretty bad. "Bumping the wiper swith" is not something that I would say caused the problem, even if they broke it. I would say they shorted something with all the water or screwed something else up and aren't owning up to it.

Damn, I would say water as well. Did you have this done by a reputable company?

Did they pull the front window to tint it? that seems shady to me if they did.

Yea they have insurance to cover if they messed up something.

Not if the tinter "bumped the wiper switch while doing it". I have visions of water going in all behind the dash.
