I just recently had a problem when I left mine unplugged and it didnt allow my tail lights to be on. A better description would be that my tail lights worked but they wouldnt be on when I turned my lights on, only when I applied the brakes. I dunno what anyone else went through if/when they left theirs unplugged but thats my experience.

There is a possibility b/c the radio has a ground wire that might run to that.

Correct!!! I forgot to put this back when I did my black interior conversion (dash swap) and my radio didn't work. Plugged it in and it worked.

This ground is for the gauge cluster. It is linked up on the underdash harness.

The headunit grounds down by the lower center part of the dash.

At least it's like that on Teg's.
