They probably forgot to connect one of the plug. One plug need to be connected in order for some other source to be in working order...

Your problem is you took the truck to a hack shop........Don't worry they all are.

Start with the fuses like mentioned. I have no idea why they would touch anything to do with your lights. Does the system have an alarm with it?

Take it back to the stereo shop and tell them it all worked before and now it doesn't... so fix it.

Thank you all so much for your help! All of it was helpful actually. Turns out, the guy who did it was like the third day on the job and totally clueless and just connected and cut random wires...therefore causing shorts in my fuses. so i took it back and told them it wasnt working and made them fix it lol, so i appreciate all of your input. Thanks guys
