car would not start
Went to bring my car in to fix what dealer thought were correct wiring fixes. Car was completely dead. Found out Dealer had rewired almost all of the aftermarket accessories I had put in. The way I installed them was the correct way. The X,K,KA,Laser and Diffuser were rewired by the dealer and they rewired it incorrectly because it was permanently on. The dealer took the wire for the star light and moved to a different fuse instead of fuse 23. The aooga horn was also wired differently. ECO module was disconnected and not working. Fuse box looked like spaghetti with wires all over the top. After 2 hours I was able to put everything where it should be but this time instead of just sliding clip on side of fuse I used a piggyback fuse to connect items. It looks neater. I now put a Label on top of fuse lid that says DO NOT CHANGE FUSES OR WIRING WITHOUT CONSULTING OWNER FIRST!! Hopefully the car will not have to be at Dealer again for 9 days.

Wow...funny how a dealer knows less then you did. It's a shame even though it's your car you would think they would be the expert lol. Happy to hear you were able to get everything back in order.

Very few dealer are experts of after market accessories. They think they know everything but they do not.

I told them they would have to pay for me to have everything put back the way it was since none of it had anything to do with the navigation. They said they already put everything back. Right!!!! I told them before hand not to touch the accessories. So far since I put everything back the way it was I have had no problems. I wish I could put a lock on the fuse box. I am going to look into a bracket I can make into a locking mechanism to go over the box and prevent anyone from tampering with my stuff.

Just the opposite with my eco module not working I had to press the button every time I got into the car. The module was reprogramed so that it automatically turns off the ECO. The module is working properly now. Everything back to normal and I can actually put my street address in the navigation. 1st time in 3 years.
