Stolen stereo thread

About an hour ago. Taillights stay on constantly. Any other ideas than just pulling a fuse? Also, are there any lock upgrades such than everybody who owns a screwdriver won't have a key to my truck?

Sorry to hear that happened.

I think you have to pull the fuse. The jackass
may of messes something else up in the process.

But on the other look at this

Thanks. I'll check that out. I got them to go out, but the fuse I pulled killed the turn indicators as well. This should be fun. I'll put the fuse in, drive to work, pull it out, and repeat in reverse in the afternoon. Only problem is that when the fuse is in, the world thinks I'm riding the brakes. I'll need to get this cleared up pretty quick.

Thanks again! This will require some study time. Also, who knows how whoever installed it pulled power from wherever. Update: while typing this reply, I got a call from the police. They got a security photo of the car and a license plate number! As the officer said, there's a chance of getting it back! However, I'll trade my radio for getting these losers caught anyday.

Send them over to that Sherif that makes them sleep in tents.
A little frostbite might teach them to keep there fingers out of places
that they don't belong in. If not the loss of a fingertip or 10 will.

Maybe it the Sherif is busy they can be sent to Japan for a short trial and
prison time.

The diagrams didn't help because they jerked a wire that bent the breaklight switch, which is apparently not anywhere near the back of the radio. At any rate, new radio installed and the Jimmi Jammers arrive tomorrow. Soon, all will be right with the world again.
