Sounds like he blew the running/dash light fuse. Just replace it with the
same size. It is located in the fuse block.

Your best bet is to re-attach the harness connector that you (or your buddy)
snipped off when you pulled the original radio out. You can buy harnesses
that you wire on to the new radio and plug into the original harness for
under $20.

Saves a lot of guess work, and a trip to the dealership.
