did you solder the connections ? I think you;ll need a computer interface along with the prong adapters , the days of red wire black wire are gone the computer runs everything , see a pro car stereo shop for help and bring your wallet

No I didn't solder anything all I did was connect th3 stereo to the corresponding colors as you would any other radio and it worked and I didn't even touch anything closely related to the cluster and about an hour later both stopped

Yea I checked the fuses but they weren't burnt or anything so someone had suggested that the radio and the cluster are on the same circuit and so it has a short or something
