dash lights wont go off

ok, i was fixing some wiriring on my alarm and my stereo, and now when i turn my car on my gauge lights come on automatically without turning my headlights on. they turn off when i turn the car off but they stay on when the car is running. the headlights are always on anyways cuz i have daytime running lights but my dash lights would only go on when i turn the headlight switch forward, what the **** is wrong????

Maybe you have a dimmer wire going to your radio area.. and somehow you hooked that guy up with a 12v source when putting in your radio o.O pretty unlikely though.. sounds like a wierd problem

Try playing with your dimmer switch a bit

sound like you hooked up either your parking light outputs from your alarm or the dimmer input to your radio to your ignition check those first I am 99.9% sure that is your problem.
