Ok now I feel really stupid here now. The radio had a bad wire and was replaced and then I finally figured out what that lovely little button is that says Antenna It was off no wonder I couldn't get any radio stations. ok now i am having a problem with it starting when it is cold. *Shrug* I will keep searching thank you for all of your help. and still no dash lights or speed odometer I am using my GPS to tell me how fast I am going. I will figure it all out.
