my windsheild wipers died adn so did my factory radio and cigarette lighter.

i think its because the ground got messed up somehow when i was upgrading under the hood wiring- any other thoughts? is that fairly likely

Probably not the answer but have you checked the fuses?
 






i did check the fuses
 






what on earth is your factory radio still doing in your truck after that system? i really have no idea, maybe the GEM? that always seems to be the case with odd electrical gremlins
 






factory radio is not in the truck, but when i installed my head unit i laid new 8 gauge power and ground for it because the stock wires weren't working.


does anybody have a diagram showing the way these things are grounded. i have this inkling that the ground for these accessories somehow got "lost" like i said above. would it be possible? do they even share a ground?
