I had the same problem when I replaced my head unit but it turned out I had pinched one of the wires during the installation. Best Buy may have found the same thing but gave you another explanation to hide their embarassment. I highly advise not using Best Buy installation or any large chain for that matter, just my opinion.

My first car was a used Nova. The first time I went to drive at night I had no interior lights anywhere in the car. So I learned of the existence of fuses and found a blown 20 amp where a 15 should be. Replaced it. Lights worked. And then they didn’t. The fuse was blown again. . . My mom’s girlfriend finally traced the problem to the POS radio the previous owner had a thrown in the hole. (He didn’t even mount it.) It seems that he miswired the radio into the same circuit as the lights and was compensating with a larger fuse to delay it blowing. Perhaps the guys at Best Buy made a similar mistake?

What did your ac not do after the install??? I never heard of the illumination causing an ac not to work, the illumination is wired to the lighting circuit not ac.

What did it take for him to fix it?
