Ok, so I installed my CD player during the day and it works fine, however when I went t odrive at night i turned on my lights and they popped right up, however when I turned off the light they went out but did not fold back down.So i wanna know what i screwed up and how I can fix it. As always thanks in advance.

you blew a fuse, check the RETRACTOR fuse under the hood

check the fuseable links by the left front strut tower. Common cause of blowing this link whilst installing a stereo include improperly grounding the power antenna (it's a positive ground 'tenna)

what about the button? See if you might have flipped the switch on the dash so thje lights stay up

Button? where is this button on the dash board?

Your alternator might also be on it's way out. The CD player might be pulling more juice than whatever you had in it before. Do the headlights work with the CD player off?

Sometimes I could get the lights to come on without flipping up and sometimes they would do what you're describing.

Chances are you blew a fuse, check the fuse block down there underneath. I blow mine all the time when I mess with the stereo, yeah..I know I should disconnect the damn batt.

the button (on mine ayway) is on the center consol, just next to the rear demister switch

S3 its near the instrument cluster, left side.

probably hit it, I bet 80% thats what it is.

or a fusable link is bad/corroded
