Dash Wont Light Up or show Turn on during Harness installation...HELP!

[ChrisNYC11]

The experts who are installing the dash wiring harness on my camry (not exaggeration they really are that good) installed everything perfectly with the exception of the dash not responding. The dash is connected properly but none of the lights nor gauges are reacting. The car turns on and all is good except for this.

What could be causing this guys?

No a few months back i went to an audio shop to install the erisin unit and a viper 5901 alarm. Long story short he burnt my dash wiring harness and i had them buy me a new one. Now these car experts are installing it for me and they are having trouble with the odometer and stuff not responding. I wanna see if anybody knows what might be causing that.

Could be anything. If enough juice fed through the wrong wires was enough to burn up your harness then enough juice went down the wrong road and could have burned up the electronics (circuit boards or components on the boards) anywhere in the car. Could have burned up multiple areas of the electronics. Me thinks you have a major problem.

It definitely did burn up a few areas but luckily they mounted the entire harness and the car is working fine. I got it back today and its working beautifully. THe power surge burned up the JBL Amp so now I need a new one but most likely the wiring associated with the music got burned too. What do you think?
