hey all, i need some help with a problem if anyone knows wtf it could be! My friend installed a stereo a while ago and ever since, my interior lights (dash and transmission lights) dont work when the headlights are switched on at night... Furthermore, today its just started to go funny and idle bad when im almost stopped and my battery light comes on and off when it happens... Any thoughts on this problem would be much appreciated, my first thoughts is something electrical but i dont know :(
Any help would be appreciated heaps!
Mitch

You need to have the charging system tested but it has to be done while that light is on.

Okay, is this what has suddenly caused my car to chug when it is idling? Is this a job for Auto elec or mechanic?
Sorry for the questions, Thanks for the reply!

A dead battery can cause all kinds of issues and the battery light being on is an indication of the charging system not recharging the battery so you need to resolve that issue first and see.

My battery is still showing 'green' which means it has charge. These problems started happening ever since a friend of mine installed a car stereo and shortly after there was a smell behind the dashboard to which the interior lights went flickering to completely off. So it has to be something behind the dash board i just dont know what it could be? I have checked the fuses and there are no issues there so i am at a loss :(
