your ground wire may have been wired wrong, that happened to me in my old corolla, turned out we wired the ground onto the wrong one.

you connected the dimmer wire, disconnect it and cap it.

still might have been a ground wire connected improperly, cause when i did that in the Corolla it still played and everything, the only reason i knew something was wrong was cause my dash lights didn't come on, and people were flashing their headlights behind me cause my tail lights were out... took us 4 hours to figure it out...if you have a wiring diagram i would suggest double checking the wiring
