obviously not enough to have a decent grasp of how electronics work. anyone who has installed electronics enough knows how to troubleshoot problems like this. you said yourself that you were going to have a pro look at it, thats a wise decision. and if you press down on the door sill hard and the lights cut off, then you either fucked something up, or accidently leaned on the door pin.

you have made no mention of what you have done, what you tried to remedy the situation, and havent tried the tips that were given. XOC can be helpful when you provide adequate information. When you go to a parts store and say i need an alternator, they cant help you if they dont know what you need it for. catch my drift?

and i apologize for the mommy and daddy comment.
