Radio problems

I recently posted that I bought an aftermarket radio from walmart that had a bad harness and was told to get a new harness with a canbus and I got the new harness and spliced it together now it runs fine with no light showing. Now the issue is that the fan runs non stop when the car is running
. Before, it would cut on in ignition mode with a ton of light but now that I added the canbus it runs only with the car running and the lights are gone. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.

new radio runs fan

it's really odd that your new radio causes your engine fan to run...

Get a MB code scanner to read the list of OBDII faults.

that's great!
Sometimes problems just run away as soon as you start paying attention - Knock on wood!

Usually scanners pay for themselves but you first have to learn their usage. Not simple.
