Hi im not sure if im posting in the right section or forum for that matter but i really require help.
after installing my stereo it was draining my battery over night and was told how to wire it to come on and off with my ignition. after swapping the wires the stereo goes off when i turn my lights off but if i push the power button it will come back on. and after connecting to the speed pulse cable my speedo only works if you turn the lights or stereo on . i know i probably have switched the wrong 2 wires but they are the ones the technician in the shop told me to switch ....
help please .

First off what kind of car?

Second off why not just use a wiring harness?

Lastly did you cut the stock wiring harness?

fiat punto
the plugs where ready to just plug in but the stereo stayed on after the ignition was off and was told to cut 2 wires and swap them

Ok I Hate To Tell You This But The Tech Is An Idiot... If He Was Anygood He Would Have Told You To Get A Harness. As For Your Problem I Hope Someone Else Can Help Cause I Dont Have Enough Info To Help You
